May Showcase

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful ACE families who joined us for our May Showcase! Our students had the opportunity to show off all the amazing things they’ve been learning and creating after school.

From Culinary, College & Career Readiness, Health & Wellness, STEM, Robotics, Drama, Creative Arts, and so much more, our students proudly shared their talents, projects, and accomplishments with their families.

We are so proud of our students and grateful to our families for coming out to celebrate all the learning, creativity, and growth happening in our ACE programs!
