The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) held its third GED graduation ceremony of the year on Wednesday, October 8at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.
Seven detainees graduated from the program, with over 30 graduates since the GED Training Center opened in March of 2024. Speakers included Chief Deputy Rhonda Anderson, Col. Michael Williams, and Dr. Kim Kranzlin from Cobb County Adult Education.
The ceremony continued with the presentation of certificates, conducted by Cobb County Adult Education personnel in conjunction with the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office.
The GED curriculum, which includes four subject areas, requires a score of 145 or higher. Upon entering the program, detainees are enrolled in the TABE placement test to determine their educational level. Instructors tailor instructional time to keep detainees engaged and schedule testing when the detainees were ready. After 40 hours of instructional time, detainees take post-test to measure their progress if they had not already taken and passed their GED.
