Ambiyo Munie gives speech from podium during Moraine Park GED-HSED graduation ceremony

We recently hosted our GED / HSED graduation ceremony on June 16 at Moraine Park Technical College. On this special night, 21 men and women were honored (check out pictures of the event here!).

The often-times difficult, winding journeys many of these individuals endured to get to this point was truly inspiring and we’re proud of all of them!
