PC for GED's

The High Point Chamber of Commerce Leadership, High Point Class of 2001, adopted the program as a community service project.

The idea was simple:

  • Collect out dated computers from individuals and company's
  • Inspect, repair, and upgrade the PCs
  • Award the PC's to people who graduate from the General Educational Development (GED) program at the GTCC High Point Campus

The program was so successful that the Chamber of Commerce adopted it as an ongoing project and assigned it to the Education Committee. Check our calendar for the next award ceremony it is truly a legend experience you will remember for the rest of your life.

To support this program call the chamber for computer spec guidelines and arrange pick-up for your computer donations.

*GED is a set of classes and examinations for persons who didn’t complete high school. When a person passes all the GED exams, he or she receives a high school equivalency diploma.
