About 100 students in Lexington Two’s adult education program completed GEDs and diplomas, celebrating the milestone during a graduation ceremony last week, attended by family and friends, district administrators, board members and faculty. This year’s graduating class, with students ranging in age from 17-53, included moms and dads, business owners, employees, and others. Many say they will head to college in the fall or will earn professional certifications.
