Principal's Message

As we head into the holiday season we are grateful for so many things at our Adult School.

Seeing our students on campus and engaging in in-person learning is at the top of that list. The shifts our students and staff made to online learning was remarkable but now we are deeply thankful for the safe return of our students back to campus. Enrollment is increasing and we are humbled by the community’s interests in Santa Clara Adult Education programs and also thankful for our dedicated staff.

In this newsletter, you will learn about program development in Career Training and Education (CTE), learn of new staff, see upcoming classes for the next Fall session 2, and learn about all the courses that Santa Clara Adult Education has to offer.

With much appreciation and respect for our community, I hope you all have a happy and healthy holiday season.

Sincerely,
Carrie Casto
Principal

I took two classes in Santa Clara Adult Education, "Office Skills and Communication & Team building" with Ms. Gail Yee. They really exceeded my expectations!

The staff at Santa Clara Adult Ed made me feel welcome and at ease. It is not easy to go back to school, and can feel intimidating for somebody who has not been in a classroom in a very long time.
