Mission Statement

Our mission is to develop the skills, values, and agency required for ACCE students to succeed beyond high school. All students at ACCE will be provided the foundational competencies and comfortability to choose the post-high school pathway that best meets their skills, interests, and passions.

Vision

By the end of 12th grade, all students at ACCE will develop positive relationships with peers, staff, and community members rooted in the five promises of the 100% Project (Commitment to Quality, Honor and Integrity, Gratitude, Contribution, and Perseverance). Students will receive a comprehensive educational experience that prepares them with the competencies and attributes necessary for success in college and careers. Experiences will include internship opportunities, rigorous coursework, hands-on learning, and extra-curricular activities that provide consistent exposure to college and career choices.
