The program honors outstanding students who are adults with significant life responsibilities, who have made positive contributions to the community, established and met life goals by attending an adult education program, improved the life situations of self and others, and overcome difficult circumstances in order to pursue adult learning experiences. The program recognizes the hard work that outstanding adult education students have completed in the pursuit of their personal, academic, and professional goals and aspirations.

Students Succeed Honoree: Leticia Fabian
When Leticia started our classes in the fall 2019 semester, she stated that she had not taken any tests towards getting her high school equivalency but had many goals that she wanted to accomplish within the same semester. She wanted to graduate with her high school equivalency, she wanted to become a U.S. citizen, and she wanted to complete a Career Technical Education (CTE) course in order to apply for a job that she needed. When she realized that there was a schedule conflict with all the classes that she wanted to take, she was faced with the dilemma of what classes she should take.
