Celebrating our graduates!
Rosario received his GED credential in December and is headed to Lord Fairfax Community College. Originally from Italy, Rosario speaks several languages, but was determined to take the GED in English. Rosario and his instructor Jackie worked together for more than a year to achieve his goal and now he is off to study accounting and we know he will be a success with that as well.
