We acknowledge the dedication, perseverance, and hard work that goes into finishing high school as an adult.
Join us in celebrating the more than 20,000 students who can now count themselves among COHS alumni! They overcame hurdles; made sacrifices; balanced jobs, family, and life—and put in the work to fulfill their dreams of becoming high school graduates.
“We are so excited to have hit this major milestone,” said Dr. Howard Liebman, Smart Horizons Career Online Education Founder and District Superintendent. “For these adults, COHS helps empower their next step forward in life, education, and career. And the empowerment goes beyond the individual student—it impacts children, families, and communities.”
COHS will honor the most recent group of graduates in our annual virtual graduation ceremony in early 2026. Check out our last ceremony to learn what a virtual graduation is all about.
What’s Next? Three-quarters of graduates plan to use COHS as a stepping stone to further education, enrolling in postsecondary education. For many others, graduating brought new jobs, promotions, and a renewed sense of self-worth and accomplishment.
Join us in applauding these 20,000+ adults on earning their high school diplomas—and stay tuned for graduation details!
