Congratulations & Gratitude

Submitted by rebecca on Tue, 06/09/2009 - 5:52pm.

Many thanks to DLC students and tutors for making this year truly special. The Teen Career Academy has had a remarkable year with a record-breaking number of graduates. The Adult Literacy Program has served a record number of dedicated students. And the ESOL Program has enabled its first group of students to transition into pre-GED studies in English. These accomplishments are but a few of many successes achieved this year - none of which would be possible without the hard work of about 500 students and 100 tutors. What a difference a year can make!
