AEHS Community Member,
At Acceleration East High School, failure is not an option. Our students are too valuable to surrender to uncertainty or to yield to the unpredictable. To say the environment that we find ourselves operating in is unpredictable is a gross understatement. It’s equivalent to calling the Grand Canyon a ditch. However, we will overcome. We will adapt and modify daily if needed to ensure that each of our wonderful Acceleration East Phoenix’s is successful. Our precious students deserve nothing less. Earning our wings every day means that we find ways and utilize all resources to help our students overcome. To quote Combat Carl from Toy Story, “Combat Carl never gives up. Combat Carl finds a way!” I give you my promise that we will never give up. We will find a way to help our students overcome and succeed!
