Through a partnership between the 5.09 HSED Program and Racine Unified School District, all HSED Program students of legal age to attend high school who successfully earn their HSED will be awarded RUSD high school diplomas. Over 30 students earned their High School Diplomas through this partnership during the first two years, and we look forward to many more doing so in the years ahead. Qualifying students will be enrolled with Racine Alternative Learning once HSED attendance is confirmed.
