Program Overview
Skagit Open Doors Youth Re-Engagement High School Completion (Open Doors) program is for eligible youth 16-20 years of age who are missing high school credits. Students enroll in BEdA and college classes to work toward earning a GED® and/or high school diploma. Open Doors is a competency based program modeled on the HS+ Adult High School Diploma program.
