Congratulations to Philadelphia GED Student Dorrie M!

The Philadelphia PGP Team cheers Dorrie on!

After four years working with the Petey Greene Program and our partners at Beyond Literacy, Dorrie M. has officially earned her GED! She worked through every section of the exam with incredible perseverance, and this summer passed her final test–Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA). Her determination and resilience have been an inspiration to every PGP tutor who has had the privilege of working with her.
