High School Equivalency Program (HEP)
To prepare a student for the General Educational Development (GED®) test of high school equivalency, Reading Area Community College offers preparation classes, free of charge, to adults in our community. These classes meet both days and evenings at different locations throughout the county. An annual graduation is held at RACC in late Spring. In addition to preparation classes, students can receive one-on-one tutoring to help students achieve success in their classwork.
