🎓ACS Early College Campaign: Today’s spotlight for our EC campaign is our current 5th year students! One of the common misconceptions about EC is that students don’t get to have the full senior experience. This is not true! EC students walk alongside their class at graduation and participate in all things senior related during 12th grade. The only difference an EC student experiences is they complete their FAFSA, apply for scholarships, are recognized for their academic achievements, and receive their diploma during their 5th year. EC students are further recognized during their 5th year at graduation, where they are awarded their Michigan Early/Middle College Association (MEMCA) Certificate for completing our EC Program, obtaining 15 or more college credits, completing the required number of community service/career exploration hours, and more! Additionally, EC students wear a gold cap and gown at their EC graduation ceremony. Join us March 16th to learn more about our Early College Program! Current ACS 10th graders can apply to EC by April 11th at: bit.ly/AlconaEC #AlconaSchools #EarlyCollege
