About HGAC

The mission of the Hiram G. Andrews Center is to offer quality individualized post-secondary education, which provides career opportunities and independent life skills.

 

The Hiram G. Andrews Center conducts a comprehensive program of services featuring the integration of education, counseling, evaluation, and physical restoration in a barrier-free environment.

 

At the Hiram G. Andrews Center, education is not confined to the classroom. While the majority of a student's time and attention is focused on education and training, job skills are only part of the learning experience. A continuum of support services ranging from vocational evaluation and career exploration to independent living skills combines to offer our students the skills they will need to live, work and contribute in the community. This variety of services also enables the individual to examine personal behavior and make positive changes in preparing for entry-level employment.

 

HGAC, which is completely barrier-free, covers 12 acres or 522,370 square feet under one roof. Each student is provided with an individual workstation and specialized adaptive tools and equipment as needed.

 

Interested applicants are urged to visit HGAC, inspect the school, and explore its opportunities. Tours for individuals and groups can be arranged by appointment. Call 814-255-8200 or use our toll-free number, 800-762-4211, extension 8217, to arrange a tour of the HGAC.
