Placer School for Adults is dedicated to its mission of equipping students with the education and training they need to overcome obstacles, explore new opportunities, and become successful lifelong learners. PSA serves the Placer Union HS District and the broader community with a diverse
range of programs that reflect the historical objectives of adult education: - **Earning a High School Diploma or Equivalent**: Continuing the foundational emphasis on literacy and basic education.
- **Developing English Proficiency**: Upholding the tradition of settlement houses by assisting community members in mastering a new language. - **Career Technical Education (CTE)**: Offering vocational pathways that lead to employment, a contemporary counterpart to the skill-building initiatives of early mechanics' institutes.
