Steps to Register
High School Diploma
It's never too late to earn your Diploma!
We are excited that you have decided to continue your educational journey with us! Coming back to school, especially if you have been out for a while, can be a daunting experience. Whether you struggled academically or life experiences prevented you from getting your high school diploma the first time around, we believe it is never too late to pursue your goals and create the future you want for yourself. We are proud of you for taking these first steps!
Register with Adult Ed using the link above. Then email your transcripts to Brienne.Phillips@lmusd.org.
Try to get your transcripts as soon as possible. We need them before you attend a 1:1 Orientation and before you begin classes!
If you need help acquiring transcripts, please contact Brienne so she can assist you.
Attend one of our "Intro to Adult Ed" Orientations (listed in the calendar below). Here you’ll be alongside other newcomers to learn about how our program works and what is required of you. You’ll also take a required assessment.
This required CASAS assessment helps us determine the academic needs of our students, as well as helping to fund our program and keep our cost FREE to you. The assessment takes 45-60 minutes on average, so please plan accordingly for these Orientation sessions.
If you have been enrolled with us in the past year or two, you don't need to come to another Intro. You will still need to do an assessment if it's been more than 3 months since your last enrollment though.
Step 3 is scheduling a 1-on-1 meeting between you and an instructor, and the start of your classes will begin!
