One blink on your drive up Barnard Street and you may miss the entrance to Vista High School one of the most student-centered learning spaces in all of West Contra Costa.
Led by veteran principal Edith Jordan-McCormick, Vista is a choice school within West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) for students in grades 7-12, and one that is often miscategorized as credit recovery or altogether unknown to many local families.
“[Vista] is an incredibly amazing alternative high school that people just don’t know about,” shared Jordan-McCormick. “It may not have the brand of a traditional high school that people are used to but it’s a special and healing place.”
