Success Stories
“This program is giving me a chance to finish high school. It will give me an opportunity to continue my studies and become a Dialysis Technician, which has been my lifelong dream. Also, it gives me the confidence to help my kids with their homework.”
- Ana, Fairfax GED
“I can now budget my money on my own instead of asking a friend. I can help my family with their bills and bank accounts and how to stay out of debt and understand paystubs. Now I am better able to help my children with their homework and can communicate better with their teachers. I can be more involved in their school as a result of my newfound confidence.”
- Maria, Fairfax ESOL
“Ms. Mary is the best teacher. She goes above and beyond. She is the best teacher in Fairfax County Adult High School. She is helpful and respectful. She never says I’m busy come back but cares for her students. She is a strong teacher!”
