Important!  CAHSEE has been suspended.

Due to recent State Legislature changes, the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) has been suspended until further notice. That means passing the CAHSEE is no longer required to earn a diploma. The new law also states that beginning in January 2016 students who completed all graduation requirements, except for passage of the CAHSEE, may be issued their high school diploma from the school they last attended. If you did not pass CAHSEE while in high school, and were also in need of more credits, now is the time to come back to school to earn your diploma. A high school diploma will improve your chances or getting a job and qualify you for higher paying jobs. Vista Adult School will help get you on track to your diploma. We are affordable, friendly and close to home. Call or come to an orientation to learn more.
