The Moshannon Valley Correctional Facility in Philipsburg, PA, celebrated its fall GED graduation on November 20, 2019. This is the second GED graduation for the year at the facility. A total of 51 students completed and graduated from the program so far during 2019.
The success of this program is due primarily to the ability to accommodate and adapt to the individual and focus on developing better learning strategies to overcome any learning deficits. There are also additional GED tutor times and access to 18 computers for utilization of the DCS GED practice programs.
During the graduation, guest speakers Reverend Phillip Billotte and Deacon Eugene Miller offered the invocation, while Facility Administrator, Lenny Oddo, delivered the graduation address. Graduates, Raul Munoz and Rosalio Chinchilla, presented graduation remarks. A small reception was held for the students at the conclusion of the graduation.
Lenny Oddo is the Facility Administrator at the Moshannon Valley Correctional Facility. The Programs Department is overseen by Assistant Facility Administrator of Programs, Vincent Cahill, and the GED Program is supervised by GED Administrator, Shelly Wriglesworth.
