Five County operates under the jurisdiction of the Fremont County Joint School District #215, and operates under the name of South Fremont High School at Five County Detention Center. All educational services are provided by the district, and comply with State and Federal Standards.
Residents are provided twenty-five hours of education each week at the Center. Having a year-round education program helps students stay current, or catch up with their appropriate grade levels by the time they leave treatment. Classes will be held in the Center’s classrooms or Multi-Purpose Room as identified in the weekly schedule. During District holidays, Center staff provide educational opportunities.
Residents who have completed the General Education Diploma (GED), High School Equivalency (HSE), or who graduate from high school are encouraged to prepare for college. Residents attend vocational programs offered on the Internet or workbook packets.
Five County has had much success in juveniles graduating with GED/HSE, or a High School Diploma.
Juveniles successfully completing education requirements for a diploma receive a graduation ceremony. Families, contracting agencies, case workers, and treatment team members are invited to attend ceremonies held inside the facility.
