38 Schools in 38 Days - We are spotlighting all of our schools, one a day, until the end of the school year, summarizing what makes each one special. 🌟 Do you have your own words of praise to add? Please leave a comment and let us know why these schools are remarkable. Today, we begin with our Early College @ ACC! The Alamance-Burlington Early College (ABEC) is an incredible learning community whose motto is "Individually driven, better together." This close-knit family of Cobras 🐍 comprises students from all zones of the school district, bringing diverse perspectives to every class. At ABEC, learning takes place at the highest level, with students persevering and striving for personal growth through the collaborative spirit between teachers and students. The care and compassion shown within the ABEC community and towards others is exceptional. This year, ABEC students and staff initiated the P.A.L.S mentoring program, provided school supplies to elementary schools, organized a speaker series, volunteered at community events, participated in food drives, and more. Remarkably, these driven Cobras excel academically while balancing jobs, service, athletics, extracurriculars, and other commitments. ABEC is the real deal, a special place where students and faculty rally together to achieve greatness. Let's hear it for ABEC! 🎉
