One morning, a computer class student, Carmen, tapped the Director of our education programs on the shoulder to come to the computer lab to see the PowerPoint presentation she had created. She was so proud of what she had learned and told our staff member that she registered for DeAnza College in the fall. Carmen attributed her desire to learn to our classes at SHCS. Now, she wants to have a career!

• English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) classes are offered in the morning and evening. These are multi-level classes that assist beginning students to advanced students.
• Computer classes are for English-speaking students and teach keyboarding, word processing, spreadsheet, and database programs. Non-English speaking students are encouraged to begin in our English-as-a-Second Language class. We have over 20 computers in our computer lab. The students will learn valuable office skills and job training so that they are ready to find employment. Visit the office skills website at http://officeskills.org to learn more about the curriculum taught in the computer classes.
• Parent Education classes help parents understand the stages of children's development and discover alternatives to physical punishment. This program focuses on infants/toddlers and pre-school age children. The parents are encouraged to attend a SHCS sponsored support group.
