In Massachusetts, the High School Equivalency (HSE) tests provide a state-issued, alternative credential to a high school diploma. The HSE high school equivalency diploma is essential for a student’s pathway to obtain a college degree, training programs, military careers and employment opportunities.
Â鶹ӰÊÓ’s High School Equivalency (HSE) classes are competency-based, allowing students to register for, finish classes and take tests when they are ready.
