Rim Working to Bring Back Adult Education
In an effort to ensure adult education returns to our mountain communities, Rim of the World Unified’s Superintendent, Dr. Paul Sevillano, took the first steps to make this a reality. By joining the Inland Adult Educational Consortium, it opens up new program & funding opportunities for our Rim communities. Imagine a world where Rim adults can work on their GED without having to leave the mountain. Imagine a world where adults seeking to change careers have the option to pursue a welding certification at night right at Rim of the World High School? By bringing back adult education, the possibilities are endless for our community.
