Hello from all of us at the Academy of College and Career Excellence
(AC2E). This campus was created with the cooperation of Morongo
Unified School District and Copper Mountain College to address the modern
trends in public education. These trends include satellite access to college
classes as well as Career Technical Education pathways coupled with a hybrid
learning environment that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and
Mathematics (STEAM).
We are excited to present students
(grades 9-12) in the Morongo Basin with new opportunities that focus on STEAM
activities. Our students are expected to adhere to the idea that they are
working to become employable citizens of our community. To that end, individual
work ethic that will result in quality work products were, and still are, the
priority in the initial goals of our staff and our students have been
responding in positive fashion. In addition to fostering great work ethic,
students are exposed to project-based learning strategies which encourage
cross-curricular connections and good communication skills.
Recently, AC2E opened its doors to the public to provide an
opportunity for our community to see what we are doing as well as discuss our
future goals. The level of technology and support on our campus is impressive
and the vision of our staff, as well as that of MUSD and Copper Mountain
College, will push students to achieve academic and vocational goals that may
have seemed impossible in the past. Students in our community now have access
to new resources that can be used to explore the vocational and college
experiences that may become vital parts of their futures.
