There is good news for adults who hope to earn their high school diplomas but did not previously have a chance.

The School District of Philadelphia’s Opportunity Network is opening registration for its Educational Options Program (EOP).

Program locations are:

• Benjamin Franklin High School, 550 N. Broad St.
• Northeast High School, 1601 Cottman Ave.
• South Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St.

There are three registration cycles:
