Rich Adult Education

RANDOLPH, Utah.  August 16 2017.  Weston Taylor, Rich High School counselor, introduced Blaine Fakrall from the Morgan School District who directs an alternative path to graduation from high school.  Fakrall said that this program, which is being used in Rich County, is a one on one program which is tailored to student’s needs.  Taylor said that Rich County Schools developed the Rich Adult Education program with Morgan so that people who need to graduate from high school can.

Mikail Bayley finished his high school courses through this program and received a standing ovation from the Rich School Board as he was given his diploma.  Taylor said that when Bayley started the program he had very low skills.  Fakrall worked with him to get him to the level of basic adult educational skills.  Then he took the necessary tests and scored much higher than was needed to graduate.  In July he spent about 50 hours to finish the classes he needed and has taken the final test. 

The Rich Adult Education program is being used by others in the county and is a good resource.
