STUDENT TESTIMONIAL

BRISEN CAOILE, CLASS OF 2022

  • Going into high school I had no idea what I wanted to do and just decided to take graphics. In ACOM my teachers are more than just teachers, they're my role models and what I strive to be like when I grow up. They have taught me that I am capable of doing so much more, with myself and everyone. I didn't know what I wanted to do for my future but being in ACOM I realized that I want to be a teacher and be an inspiration for students. Just as my teachers are doing for me now. ACOM to me is more than just a pathway, it's the place that has helped me grow as a person in all ways. ACOM has truly changed my life in that sense.
