My son and daughter have flourished at Cerro Villa and I believe they are well prepared for high school now. I appreciate how the CV teachers have encouraged them to not only achieve but to engage in discourse and extra-curricular activities. I'd like to thank Mr. Peterson for coaching the boys in soccer and giving them experiences that will last a lifetime.
