 The Academy of Creative
Education (ACE), is a non-traditional, nationally recognized model high school for
students at-risk of dropping out. Established with an innovative school grant from the Texas Education Agency and the Education Economic Policy Center, the Academy began its first classes on September 16, 1991. Since its doors opened in 1991, the Academy has successfully assisted over 3,600 students to graduate.
The Academy is the collaborative result of a design team composed of educators and community representatives who envisioned a campus where challenged youth, ages 16-21, would have a unique environment in which to learn and where instructors would use innovative teaching models and teaching strategies.
Eighteen successful years later, this creative approach is still improving student achievement by changing the ways in which students are taught and learn. The Academy continues its accomplishments under the guidance and leadership of design team member and founding Academy principal, Dr. Mary Jo McLaughlin.
