TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) — Working mom Erica Royer never finished high school. Now, thanks to a program through Topeka Public Schools, she has the chance to finally get her diploma.
Royer is enrolled in the Topeka Public Schools Virtual School. It’s a web-based program geared towards people over 19 that didn’t earn their high school diploma in four years. It allows people to complete any unfinished credits and transfer them back to their home high school.
The lessons are taught by virtual teachers and assignments are completed online, which makes it more convenient for people like Royer.
“I get off really late in the evening and it’s really convenient to get on the laptop and be able to do it right in my bed,” said Royer.
