Life in the City
Since the 2000s conservation efforts have managed to save many architectural pieces and achieved several large-scale revitalizations, including the restoration of several historic theatres and entertainment venues, high-rise renovations, new sports stadiums, and a riverfront revitalization project. This means there's always plenty for us to do (when we're not lesson planning and teaching!).

Why did you say "Yes" to ACE?
Every child is a beautiful blessing from God deserving of not only His love, but the expression of that love through the teachers God places in a child's life. Saying "yes" to ACE represented a "yes" to educating the whole child - mind, body, and soul, a "yes" to planting and cultivating the seeds of curiosity and the pursuit of virtue, and a "yes" to change a life.
