In Massachusetts, the High School Equivalency (HSE) tests (which include both the GED and HiSet) provide a state-issued, alternative credential to a high school diploma. The HSE high school equivalency diploma is essential for a student鈥檚 pathway to obtain a college degree, training programs, military careers and employment opportunities.
The college has annually honored the achievements of its high school equivalency graduates for the past 36 years with an in-person ceremony, celebrating the hard-earned credential with the recipients. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Bristol safely continued the event for the second year in the form of a live virtual ceremony that was recorded for viewing on-demand.
Bristol鈥檚 High School Equivalency (HSE) classes are competency-based, allowing students to register for and finish classes and take tests when they are ready.
