Alternative Diploma Program
One way to finish high school
The Alternative Diploma Program offers those 16 years of age and older an opportunity to earn a certified high school diploma through evening courses. This is a 20-credit Keene School District diploma – it is a not a Keene High School diploma nor a GED/HiSET certificate. Previously earned high school credits, as well as credit for certain other work or life experiences, may be applied toward the diploma. Interested students under the age of 18 should discuss this option with their guidance counselor as a first step.
