Chris Coggeshall, one of five students who just recently got his GED, learned there is way more to life than just playing video games. He realized that with a little effort he could open many doors with a GED.  People with a GED earn $9,400 more per year than people without a GED or high school diploma. Chris came to JCTC Trimble Adult Education and in three weeks got his GED, a Silver National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC), and created a resume and cover letter.

FRANKFORT, Ky. – The rate of fatalities on Kentucky’s roadways is increasing in 2015, according to preliminary numbers from the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety and Kentucky State Police. There were 549 fatalities as of Oct. 6 – 58 more than at the same time last year.
