HEP Alliance

High School Equivalency Program

Our primary goal is to serve migrant and seasonal farm workers with a High School Equivalency (HSE) preparation and support services. Every student enrolled in the program will receive 80 hours of direct instruction (English or Spanish) within each of the four content areas of Language Arts, Social Studies, Sciences and Mathematics. 

The HEP Alliance Program is a 5-year grant that serves 100 students annually. The high academics and preparedness help every student enrolled pass the rigor of the four official exams to secure their High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED). All courses are aligned with Common Core State Standards and STEM curriculum.

• 16 years or older (applicant under 19 must obtain a release from their school district).
