Jacob Williams, Principal at AAAC, leads by example, mentors our students, staff, parents, and still expects more from himself than anyone else in the building. It is a rare combination to find in a leader nowadays. He accepts flaws in people without judgment, helps students to overcome adversity, and pushes students and teachers to be better. Many times, he sees more potential in us and our students than we see in ourselves. Mr. Williams is never afraid to make the tough calls, accept criticism, and accept a challenge when he believes it's what is best for students. He is exactly what President Roosevelt referred to as the “Man in the Arena.”
Chris Ellcey, our first graduate, has set the bar high for future students and classes, embodying the values of curiosity and resilience that we hope to instill in our future students. His journey has been one of growth, both academically and personally as he has embraced challenges and built meaningful relationships.
This week, we are proud to recognize Shacoriea Clayton as our Student of the Week! Shacoriea has consistently demonstrated hard work, dedication, and a willingness to go above and beyond both in and out of the classroom.
Students in the PACE program on the AAAC campus received a valuable lesson in financial literacy today when local Bank President, Duane Hayes, and Administrative Assistant, Tiffany Terry, visited their class. Hayes, who leads Texas Bank, shared insights from his career and provided practical advice on personal finance, investing, and the importance of financial responsibility.
We are thrilled to announce that this week's Student of the Week is Brooklynn Porter, a dedicated and positive member of the PACE Program's student body. Brooklynn has been recognized for her exceptional attitude, not only in the classroom but throughout the school community.
This week, we are thrilled to recognize Daniel Garcia-Martinez as our Student of the Week! He has gone above and beyond by completing more classes than anyone else, setting a high standard for hard work and dedication.
