Testimonial:
I’m a single parent looking for a better job to support my daughter. Vista Adult School is giving me the tools needed to get that job. My instructor (Mary Ann Wallner), goes the extra mile to help EVERY student be successful in much needed computer skills. She’s one of those teachers I will never forget. She really cares about all of her students. She seems to make us all feel smart in a class that can be hard for most students.
