GED and ESL classes set to begin in Owego

Beginning on Monday, Jan. 26, GED and ESL classes will be offered on Monday and Wednesday behind the Owego Bus Garage and at 5 Sheldon Guile Blvd. 

The classes are for adults only, with the GED being offered to those 19 years and older, or to someone who has been out of school for a year and wants instruction to pass the GED and earn a high school equivalency diploma.

English as a second language is for those desiring to learn or improve their English skills in reading, writing, or conversation.
