The Excel Center in Clarksville, Indiana, is a unique, tuition-free public high school specifically designed for adults (ages 18 and older) who previously dropped out of the traditional school system and wish to earn their Core 40 high school diploma.

The school is part of a broader network managed by Goodwill Industries, which integrates academic instruction with the supportive services necessary to help adult learners succeed despite the challenges of balancing school with work and family responsibilities.
