Principal's Message
As you get ready to end this school year, take time to reflect on all that you have accomplished this year. Make a list of all the new things you learned, the people who have helped you, and then create some goals for next year.
If you are finished here at Culver City Adult School, I hope that our school helped you reach your goals. If you are not finished, then I look forward to seeing you next school year as you continue your learning journey.
CELEBRATION
Congratulations to Margery Dickens!!!!! After over 25 years of serving Culver City Adult School, Margie is retiring.
