Each student attended classes faithfully for four to six months to pass each section on the first try. Even though three of the four students will continue their prison sentence, they expressed interest in taking college courses while serving their time. The other student will enter the workforce upon his release.  Teachers and staff are proud of the hard work and dedication each student did in and outside of the classroom in a short period of time to prepare and pass their TASC.
