🎓ACS Early College Spotlight: Today’s highlight is all about sports! In December 2022 the Governor signed House Bills 6039 and 6040, which allow students in the 5th year of an Early College program to participate in college athletics. This year we have our first Early College students that are collegiate athletes: Carter Upper and Miah Schopfer! Carter ran for the cross country team and Miah competed on the softball team. Join us January 15 to learn more about EC! Current ACS 10th graders can apply to EC by April 7th at: bit.ly/ACS-EC-App #alconaschools #earlycollege #applytoday

🎓Drumroll please! This month we kicked off our Early College (EC) application period! Did you know that ACS has an EC Program? Today we will be kicking off our EC campaign with Ms. Cordes, our EC Coordinator. From now until April we will be highlighting our program, student accomplishments, college resources available to our students, and more! Today's feature is the introduction of Ms. Cordes, our EC Coordinator. Did you know that ACS has a partnership with Alpena Community College that allows our EC Coordinator to have an office at the ACC campus in Alpena? Every Wednesday Ms. Cordes can be found in her ACC office, room 110A in the Newport Center. Being on campus allows Ms. Cordes to better support and meet with our full-time college students. Sometimes former students even stop in to say hello and get help with transferring to a 4 year university, applying for ACC commencement, and transitioning into the workforce. Picture is Ms. Cordes and our 1st EC cohort (2022). Join us January 15 to learn more about EC! Current ACS 10th graders can apply to EC by April 7th at: bit.ly/ACS-EC-App #alconaschools #earlycollege #applytoday
