15 Vista Students to Graduate in July Ceremony

Vista Life Innovations, a nationally accredited community-based education program for individuals with disabilities, will graduate 15 students on July 15 in a ceremony to be held at Westbrook High School.

This year’s commencement speech will be delivered by Keynote Speaker Joseph Comerford, executive director of the Estuary Transit District. Comerford, who began his career with the ETD in 2009, became a friend and supporter of Vista after getting to know the many students and members who utilize the 9 Town Transit buses on a regular basis.

Graduation is a significant milestone in the lives of Vista students that acknowledges the independence and success they have worked hard to achieve in the Discover Program, Vista’s transitional program. The majority of graduates will move into their own homes or apartments and live as independent members of the shoreline community while receiving individualized services as members of Vista’s Engage Program.

Open to community members, Vista’s graduation ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. at Westbrook High School, 156 McVeagh Road. A reception at Chamard Vineyards in Clinton will immediately follow commencement.
