Over 100 adults from around the area will be recognized at the annual Hopkinsville Community College General Education Development (GED) ceremony Thursday night. HCC officials say the adults receiving their GED credentials are from Christian, Caldwell, Todd, and Trigg counties. During the ceremony, outstanding achievement certificates and GED scholarships awards will also be presented.
This year’s speaker will be Mrs. Angela Smith, who received her GED in 1991. She is currently an HCC instructor and coordinator for the college’s medical information technology program.
HCC officials say Smith started attending Madisonville Community College in 2010 and completed an associate of applied science degree with medical coding and administrative credentials in 2012. She received her coding certification the following year and began work with the Pennyroyal Mental Health and Primary Care as their first and only coder.
The ceremony will be held at 7:00 Thursday evening at the HCC Auditorium.
