Adult Education
Sidney Schools provides an opportunity for community members to share their talents and expertise through the Adult Education Program. Any individuals willing to instruct an evening class are invited to contact Danny Coryell, SHS Assistant Principal, to get started. Interested community members are encouraged to participate by contacting the instructor or calling the school to register. Quarterly fees are $20 per person; however, senior citizens are not charged the participation fee. Additional material costs may be required for project-based classes.
The Adult Education Program offers two or three sessions. The fall quarter begins at the end of September/beginning of October. The winter quarter begins mid-February. The spring quarter (if one is offered) extends from the winter quarter continuing through April.
Please contact Sidney High School if you would like more information or to register for a class at 433-2330.
