HANNIBAL â The Hannibal High School Equivalency Test program offers a way for members of the community to pursue their dreams, and Damica Kyle is on the way to her dream career of becoming a police officer after receiving her certificate.
Kyle dropped out of high school her sophomore year, and she was soon running with the wrong crowd and getting involved in drugs and alcohol. One day, she woke up and said, âIâm tired of this. I want to be a better person. I want to be a better person for my society.â
After she joined the High School Equivalency Test program in Hannibal, Kyle knew she was on the right path. For the past several years, the HiSET program has been provided free of charge in Hannibal by Macon Adult Education and Literacy, with support coming in throughout the community.
