In my four years at Desert Vista, I have truly learned to love this school! Although not every teacher has been perfect, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. We are offered a variety of classes that most other schools are not fortunate enough to have. There are countless clubs and activities for students to be a part of. There is a great comradery among students and I am grateful to have made as many friends as I have. As I move on to the next chapter of my life, I know I will always be grateful for Desert Vista and all it has done for me!
