Do you have a high school diploma? There it was, in some form or other, on every application. The same question. The same answer. No. It didn’t really bother Evelyn Hunter, Sr., because she knew why she quit high school in 1980. She wanted to be home with her children. She prioritized them. She’d do it again. Tuesday night, Hunter walked across the stage at Taft Theatre downtown and collected a diploma from Dohn Community High School, a charter school with a special program for people 22 and older. Hunter graduated with her daughter, Tyrea Hunter, 33, and two nieces, Evelyn Hunter, Jr., 24, and Andrea Foster, 20. All four attended Dohn at the same time. Dohn (pronounced D-A-W-N) is a dropout-recovery school, targeting students who otherwise would probably not graduate. The charter school has about 1,000 students in all, including those in the 22-plus program.
