The Adult Education Program currently coordinates GED preparation for Graham and Greenlee County students. Over 100 students have enrolled in the program since it became locally supported by the United Way of Graham and Greenlee Counties and the City of Safford in September 2024. With an in-house teacher, Kristi Apodaca, available to provide resources and one-on-one instruction, students can prepare for their GED tests in a variety of ways. Testing is available at three locations in the two counties. If you know of someone interested in their GED, please contact the email address provided above.
