Leighton Turner jokes around with Shelby Herald while going over test scores and course results during her session in the Finish Strong program at Franklin Community High School. Herald is participating in Finish Strong to complete her high school diploma at her own pace. Turner and his wife Sheila started Finish Strong three years ago to help students at risk of dropping out or falling behind complete their diplomas on their own time and at their own pace. To date the Finish Strong program has allowed about 250 people recover credits and complete their high school diplomas. Mike Wolanin / Daily Journal
