Warsaw Adult Education

Today we cut the ribbon with the Kosciusko Chamber to celebrate a new brand for Warsaw Adult Education. New look. Same heart. Bigger reach for adults who are ready for their next step.

Warsaw Adult Education is part of the WCS family with support from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development and our school corporation. As Dr. Hoffert reminded us, this work extends our mission past K-12 so neighbors can build skills, earn a diploma equivalent or grow English proficiency.

Director Leo Patiño and the team rebranded to make the program easier to find and easier to understand. About 12% of adults in our county do not have a high school diploma or equivalent — just under 10,000 people — yet many don’t know WAE is here for them. Last year 85 adults graduated through WAE. The year before it was 94. Those are lives changed.

WAE doesn’t take students from our high schools. We champion on-time graduation. WAE is for adults who moved here from other countries or who didn’t get the chance to finish when it was their time.

The new logo aligns with WCS so families and partners can spot it fast. Programs stay strong. Service stays personal. Visibility grows.

Adult education is a direct pipeline to local jobs and a stronger community. If you or someone you know is ready, search “Warsaw Adult Education” at warsawschools.org or call the WAE office to get started.
