Welcome to LifeSkills of Hamilton County! We are here to help you earn your high school diploma.
We are located across the street from the Cinfed Credit Union inside the Mid City Executive Building. Hamilton County LifeSkills is serviced by Metro Transportation, or you can park directly behind the building and catch the elevator up to the 3rd floor.
More than 400 students have earned their high school diploma at our LifeSkills. They've gone on to work at U.S. Bank, SPCA, Kings Island, Kenwood Terrace Nursing Home and RDI Marketing Services, to mention just a few.
We are involved in our community. Our staff partners with our Community Action Agency and Buelah Baptist. Our staff and students volunteer for the Roselawn Business Association assisting with "Roselawn Days" by running booths as well as participating in the Roselawn Clean-Up Days.
One special student we'd like to tell you about is Dawone Holloway. Dawone had been expelled from his previous school, and he constantly found himself fighting with other students. Over time, however, as he came to trust the Life Skills staff, he began to achieve more and more success in academics and was able to better negotiate conflicts. In fact, many students began to look up to Dawone as a role model and came to him for advice. Moreover, Dawone sought opportunities to supplement his academic success through attending a University of Cincinnati program for high school students, participating in the Cincinnati Shakespeare Competition, and volunteering in numerous capacities. Dawone is now a UC student and shares his passion for learning through mentoring and tutoring elementary school students. He is even considering becoming a math teacher some day.
