WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE DIPLOMA PROGRAM?:

It is a partnership between Lowell High School, Lowell Adult Education, and the United Teen Equality Center. The goal of the Alternative Diploma Program (ADP) is to support student success through combining high expectations for academic success with strong and structured support systems. This competency and credit based program will provide Lowell's out-of- school youth a chance to earn a diploma in a small, structured, alternative setting.

AM I ELIGIBLE?:

You are eligible if you have been out of school for at least six months and have at least 40 High School credits including two English classes completed. If you are interested, give us a call at 978.856.3911 or bring a copy of your high school transcript to UTEC and ask for Dirk.

WHERE ARE CLASSES HELD?:

Classes are held at UTEC's new building on 34 Hurd Street in Lowell.
