Jacksonville
Life in the City
The Jacksonville community enjoys its proximity to the sunny Florida beaches (which you can even visit in December), great restaurants (such as European Street Café), and the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium (where they attend a game or two each year). If you ask, they'll also argue why their house/convent is the best in ACE.

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
I said yes to ACE because education is a mechanism for modernization and a cultural enriching experience. As a product of Catholic schools, I have had many amazing teachers who have inspired me. Including ACE teachers who have been committed to educating the whole person. I hope to be an advocate and role model for children who are on their journey of faith and education.

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
Every child deserves access to an education that believes in them and prepares them for a successful future. Catholic schools are devoted to developing both the hearts and the minds of young people, cultivating their students into hard-working, perseverant, and compassionate adults. I hope to be a person my students can turn to for both academic and spiritual growth.
