High School Equivalency Testing

Adult Education Classes - HiSET Prep

Northeast State is an approved Testing Center for High School Equivalency Testing. High School Equivalency (HSE) tests are nationally recognized tests approved by states to meet the requirements for their High School Equivalency Diploma. Effective July 1, 2016, the HiSET® is the only test available to students in Tennessee who wish to obtain the State of Tennessee High School Equivalency Diploma.

The purpose of the Adult Education/High School Equivalency (HSE) Diploma program is to deliver educational services to adults who are over the age of 17 (unless granted an exception) lacking a high school diploma and no longer under compulsory attendance to public high school. The program covers an eight (8) county area, where adults are assessed to determine their level of education and provided instruction to improve their skills in math, science, social studies, reading, writing and employability. This instruction is designed to equip the student with the knowledge necessary to receive a High School Equivalency Diploma and enter employment and/or postsecondary education.
