Thirty-seven adult learners celebrated years of hard work and dedication June 5 at their graduation from James H. Groves Adult High School at Sussex Technical High School.

“Perseverance means being determined to never give up despite the odds – and you are a group of highly determined high school graduates,” Sussex Tech Superintendent Stephen Guthrie said. “You have perspired and persisted to achieve your dreams, and deserve a huge round of applause for succeeding. Your families also deserve thanks for supporting you through this journey. We are just pleased to have played a part in your success today and your future endeavors.”

Graduate Alicia Leonard told the story of enrolling in James H Groves Adult High School. She had been encouraged by friends and family to attend the school. She put it off until she got a flyer in the mail from the school. She enrolled and graduated with honors.

James H. Groves Adult High School provides opportunities for adults statewide to earn their high school diplomas. The Sussex Technical School District operates the high school for 220 Groves learners in Sussex County each year, with classes taught at eight sites around the county.
