Program offers students and adults a second chance fdlreporter.com Fond du Lac Reporter:

"Failure never has to be an option at Fond du Lac High School."

An after school credit recovery program ensures that seniors who have fallen behind can catch up in time to graduate with their class.

Known as E20/20, the Tuesday afternoon and evening offering also invites community residents to come in and earn their high school diploma. Cost for adults is $100.

“All they have to do is bring in their school transcript and they can start working online or with pass packets. When they’ve earned enough credits, they get a diploma. They can even participate in the ceremony,” said Assistant Principal John Meznarich.

E20/20 started during the second semester of the last school year as a continuation of the alternative education concept offered for years through the Fond du Lac School District. The new twist is wireless access to classes.
