Those 19 and over can enroll in Adult Education program

Adults aged 19 and over may enroll in the Yosemite Adult School Independent Study program to earn a high school diploma or prepare for the General Educational Development (GED) examination.

For information about the program, or to make an individual appointment, call Janice Dissmeyer at 683-8801 ext. 367.

As with all Yosemite Joint Union High School District students, Yosemite Adult High School students create their own senior projects.
One of the projects for the Class of 2003 was entitled My Dream and was created by Crystal Johnson, a member of the Chukchansi Tribe.
To meet her personal goals, Johnson decided to return to high school to earn her diploma. In addition to being busy with four daughters and 10 grandchildren, she works part time in the tribal office.

Even with all of these obligations, she found time to complete her weekly assignments through the program.

At the alternative education graduation ceremony, Johnson challenged those adults who want or need a diploma to return to the program offered through the YJUHSD.
