We believe that being a life-long learner is one of the keys to personal growth and vitality. In 2015, we were informed by the Fresno Bee that we were receiving the Fresno Bee’s People’s Choice Award. To be honest, I knew little about this honor but was informed that this was voted by students in the valley and we came out #1 in the area of Career and Technical schools. The more we talked about this with our staff, the more stories I heard from students about their positive experience while attending Clovis Adult School. INDEX OF COURSES D I R E C T O R ’ S Registration Form�������������������������39 Our goal is to help position you for success and network with businesses in the community to place you in a great job. This starts by giving us a call and asking as many questions as you like about our academic, community education and career technical educational programs. We want to provide you with the best learning experience at a fraction of the cost of private schools. In fact, most of our Career Technical programs are about a third of the cost of private schools. We are currently modernizing our school but all classes are still going strong, so please excuse the mess and enjoy the educational pampering only our staff can provide.
