the booker t. washington center
Who are we?
A partnership with Erie’s Public Schools, Booker T Washington Center and GECAC.
What services do we provide?
The program was created to capture youth who have
recently withdrawn from the Erie’s Public Schools or who have been court ordered to pass the GED tests in order to earn a PA Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma.
Along with GED preparation, the students are provided
integrated soft skills, job readiness and career exploration.

Pennsylvania Requirements
Minimum age: 16 years. For applicants 16 and 17, additional restrictions and requirements apply. Contact your nearest GED testing site.
Underage candidates (16 and 17) must submit an official age waiver issued by Pennsylvania’s Department of Education. They also must provide a written request from a college admissions office, employer, military recruiting office, or the director of an official state institution that indicates obtaining a GED is required for the applicant.
In Pennsylvania, GED and HiSET testing is open only to state residents that never completed their high school education and are not in another school program.
Completing the GED or HiSET successfully will give you better professional options and unlock doors of colleges and universities. Each year, more than half a million people finish the GED-HiSET exam successfully, and you may very well be one of them.
Fee: $120 for the entire GED test ($30 per subject), HiSET: $90 (read more below).
You do not first have to take the GED Ready® practice test or the HiSET official practice tests and taking a GED or HiSET prep course is also not required.
