A student in Morin County said they struggled in the ACE program as a sophomore but, with guidance from the ACE coordinator, took extra classes as a junior, passed them and received an ACE diploma.

"I didn't I wasn't able to pass all of my end of the year ACE classes, but with the great guidance and, our ACE coordinator, so our junior year year, I was put in an extra ACE class. So instead of taking 3 that year, I think I took 5. And I ended up passing every single 1 of those ACE classes, and then I ended up getting my ACE diploma," the student said.

The student also said the day’s events gave visitors a view of staff and students in action: "I hope today's experience where you've had the opportunity to see a lot of our students and our teachers and our support staff in action, have given you a glimpse into the magic that happens every day across every single 1 of our campuses."
