COVINGTON, Va. (VR) – For those seeking an alternative to a traditional high school diploma, the General Education Diploma (GED) program provides a valuable opportunity to earn an equivalent credential. The GED classes offered through a partnership between the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Region Five Adult Education School and the Alleghany Highlands Regional Library aim to help students gain the skills and knowledge necessary to pass a comprehensive exam.

The GED test covers four subject areas: math, social studies, science, and reading and language arts. By passing this exam, individuals demonstrate that they possess the same academic competencies as high school graduates.

A GED or high school diploma is required for almost any job you may want to apply for. Instructor Tony Petrosky leads the classes at the Alleghany Highlands Regional Library, providing students with a convenient learning environment. Petrosky offers flexible scheduling to accommodate the diverse needs of participants. You must call Tony at 540-958-8124 to register for this free instruction.

The program has already seen some success, one such success is student Tyler Ross who completed his GED studies with Petrosky and earned his equivalency diploma.

The program offers a structured and supportive pathway to obtaining a GED for those interested in pursuing this valuable credential. By partnering with the local library, the Roanoke Valley Alleghany Region Five Adult Education School ensures accessibility and flexibility for students who must balance work, family, and other commitments.

Petrosky’s classes give students the tools required to succeed in a job market that increasingly demands a high school-level education. This program serves as a vital bridge for individuals seeking to improve their academic and professional prospects. By offering this flexible and collaborative learning opportunity, the Roanoke Valley Alleghany Region Five Adult Education School and the Alleghany Highlands Regional Library empower students to achieve their educational goals and unlock new opportunities.
