Building a Better Memphis
Through Adult Education

ADULT BASIC EDUCATION
Are you one of the 60,000 people in Shelby County that do not have a High School Diploma?
There are a lot of reasons why people don’t finish high school. No matter your reason, you can still earn your high school equivalency diploma. In the state of Tennessee, that diploma is called the HiSET, though it’s also commonly called a GED. HopeWorks can help you earn your high school equivalency degree in a few short months at sites across Memphis and the Mid-South.
- HiSET preparation & testing
- Higher education preparation
- Career pathways coaching
- Flexible Hours
- In-person or virtual instruction
- Numerous Shelby County locations
Why should you put in the time and effort to get your HiSET? It’s a source of personal pride – knowing that you completed your education can boost your self-confidence. People with a high school equivalency degree make more money and qualify for better positions than people without one. Your children, siblings, parents, friends, cousins will be proud of you for taking a step in the right direction.
November 6, 2024 marked the 100th HiSET awarded since the start of the fiscal year. That’s 6 weeks earlier than last year! Congratulations to the ABE team and students!
