Thanks to Schools like the McCann School of Business & Technology, 2,000 Adult Students Go Back to Class, Earn High School Diplomas

ALLENTOWN, Pa., Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Amber Winder never finished high school but knew she needed a high school diploma in order to take college level classes to become a Medical Assistant. That's when she learned about a high school completion program funded by McCann School of Business & Technology  that covers the cost of the coursework and is offered online by Penn Foster High School, with in-person support provided on McCann campuses.

"When I first decided to go back to school I was very unsure if I could do it. After meeting with the Staff at McCann, the support and encouragement received was the motivation I needed," said  Amber. "I never thought I could go forward in life but here I am today a Penn Foster High School graduate."

Amber is one of more than 2,000 students who have gone back to class since 2016 and earned a high school diploma thanks to funding from schools like McCann which are part of the Ancora Education group of private, post-secondary schools located across the U.S. Penn Foster issues the final diploma to students who graduate from their online program.

Students interested in the high school completion course must apply and interview for the program through McCann and agree to attend the Penn Foster online classes on the McCann campus three days a week for two-to-three hours per day. McCann does not teach the classes but provides community-facing support throughout the process, which varies for each student depending upon the number of credits they have coming into the program.

Since 2016, Ancora Education schools have funded 3,500 students without a high school diploma into the Penn Foster high school completion program. A high school diploma improves eligibility for better employment and secondary education opportunities. Both of which have a significant economic impact within the communities they serve.

Students enrolled in the high school completion program are under no obligation to take future classes or programs at McCann.
