Goodwill is starting the process of opening an Excel Center here in NWA that allows residents over the age of 19 to return to school to receive a high school diploma.

• Room to grow: Based off the Little Rock Excel program, which supports 350 students, the NWA location will offer free tuition, sit-in classes, and life coaches for its students. The expansion could increase the program's capacity to more than 1,000 students upon completion.
• Opening doors: In Benton and Washington counties alone, there are 40,000 adults without a high school diploma. The school could potentially be open for enrollment by this fall.
