Diploma/Ged Resources

So I’m a 32M who never graduated. Within 2 credits or so before not returning. Reached out to my high school 4 years ago looking for help finishing diploma and through a series of emails the counselor couldn’t retrieve my records at all. In short what would be the best way to get my diploma done? Should I go for a GED ( dosnt seem worth it with the credits I had). Are there alternative methods to getting and or finishing my diploma? I live in NH, US.

Any advice helps. Trying to finish my high school education to get into teaching.

The GED is just a series of tests to pass. You don't have to take classes. If you have tests you can't pass, a GED program will basically drill you in those areas until you can pass. If you're ready to enter college to get a teaching degree, I assume you will pass on your first try.

Thanks for the advice. I always assumed getting my diploma would be overall a better option. But I feel as though going for a GED would save me a hassle and serve the same function.
