Mid-Plains Community College recognized eight years’ worth of GED graduates this week.
A special ceremony was held on the North Platte Community College South Campus, 601 W. State Farm Rd., in North Platte.
It will be the first ceremony of its kind since 2013.
“The GED test changed to computer-based testing in January of 2014 and along with that came a cease to releasing GED scores to area programs,” said Renee Miller, adult education program specialist for the college, regarding why the recognitions stopped. “We hosted a small GED graduation in Ogallala in 2017 recognizing students from just the MPCC Ogallala Campus that year, but there has not been a program-wide graduation since 2013.”
