State school Holds G.E.D. graduation
Twenty-two West Texas State School students recently celebrated the completion
of their G.E.D. requirements with a graduation ceremony held on Sept. 8.
WTSS assistant principal Monroe Elms and English teacher Dr. Frances
Johnson presented G.E.D. certificates to the students, who crossed the
stage dressed in traditional caps and gowns. Steve Swisher, Pastor at First
United Methodist Church in Monahans, presented a motivational talk entitled,
"Strive." A cake and punch reception was held following the ceremony for
the more than one hundred students, staff, families and guests in attendance.
According to the Texas Education Agency, the G.E.D. test is a rigorous
seven-hour battery of five tests consisting of writing skills (including
a 200-word essay), social studies, science, literature and the arts, and
mathematics. These tests measure the student's ability to understand and
apply information, to evaluate, analyze and draw conclusions, to solve
problems, and to express ideas and opinions in writing.
WTSS diagnostician Judith Snelson, teacher Patsy Elkins, teacher's aide
Mary Helen Vasquez and the G.E.D. graduates spent many long hours decorating
the gym and fireplace room for this important event. The West Texas State
School Community Advisory Council donated funds to purchase decorations.
West Texas State School is a facility of the Texas Youth Commission,
serving over 240 delinquent male youth.
