Life in the City
ACE Austin can be found keeping it caliente on Sixth Street, floating down the Guadalupe River, catching a live show in the city, exploring a dive restaurant, walking around UT, or taking a drive to visit the other TexACE communities.

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
I said yes to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE because of the dedicated teachers who taught me throughout my 15 years in Catholic schools. I was blessed to be surrounded by teachers who helped me to grow in my academics, socio-emotional development, and spirituality. It is my aspiration to do this for my own students, as I watch them develop into their most authentic, Christ-like selves!
