Mr. Lista has kept abreast of the many changes in education and specifically within the challenging field of technology. It is, however, his commitment to students, belief in student-centered learning and in a problem solving approach to teaching that makes him such an excellent educator. Teaching has always been a vocation for Mr. Lista and his daily practice makes this very apparent.
