Penny Guyer, a Harford Community College student, won the MAACCE Student Award that recognizes students who have been enrolled in adult education programs within the current fiscal year. Ms. Guyer received the award because of her dedication to learning and involvement in the community.

Martha Chrismer represented Harford County Public Schools’ Reconnecting Youth Program, the winner of the MAACCE Partner Award, which recognizes community, not-for-profit organizations, or businesses that partner with an adult education program.

The program provides case management, career services, guidance and counseling, tutoring, and scholarships for students in GED classes at Harford Community College.
