English as a Second Language Students Graduate from the Program

The ESL graduates stood proudly as they received their certificates on Wednesday December 12, 2012. Their teachers and other students in various stages of the program listened as they spoke about experiences, difficulties, and accomplishments along the way. This day has been one in which these students have looked forward to for many months. The journey has been difficult for most, but each student has worked incredibly hard to get to this point.
