Adult Basic Education
Welcome to the national award-winning McLennan Community College Adult Education program. The program is one of the most active community voices in combating illiteracy in McLennan, Falls, and Bosque counties. It was honored in March of 2000 as a recipient of the United States Department of Education Secretary's Award for Outstanding Adult Education and Literacy because of its experience in serving out-of-school youths and adults.
