DALE LOWERY, OWNER D&D PLUMBING: “D&D Plumbing believes in a trained work force, and getting young and energetic employees who want to work and make plumbing a career. ACE high school is a very good place for us to recruit these young people. They want to work, and already have an understanding of what construction is about. Currently we have four young adults who have graduated from ACE and are indentured in the Associated Builders and Contractors Plumbing Apprenticeship program.”

LEE ROBERTS, APPLIED MECHANICAL: “We have hired students from ACE High School and have had great success. The students are well prepared for the construction industry."

Q&D CONSTRUCTION: “Q&D was fortunate to have summer interns from ACE. They came to us with an enthusiasm for construction."

ACE PARENT: “My son spent his senior year at ACE and it has been the best thing that ever happened to him. He chose to go there. I only wish we had known about ACE sooner. He is more confident now than he has ever been. Because of all of you, my son has a solid plan and a beginning for his future.”

BROOKE WALKER, ACE PARENT: “It is our belief that the excellent staff and faculty are the reason Noah has successfully completed a high school education. ACE has offered Noah a personal and supportive learning environment, making information relevant by providing a ‘hands on’ experience.”

MORENO FAMILY: “The impact you have had on my son’s life is wonderful, he went from very low grades and not liking school to high grades and loving school all because of the great team at ACE.”

JOSH JONES, FORMER STUDENT: “Building two houses and then taking CADD allowed me to compete both at the state level and national level winning the Gold Medal in architectural drafting, an accomplishment that is my most memorable. I credit ACE with this achievement.”

ROBERT WILSON, FORMER STUDENT: “In the three years I attended ACE, I learned so many skills that I could never get at a traditional high school.”

ANTHONY LENZI: “Building four houses was an exceptional experience and I learned things I can use for the rest of my life.”

BRANDON WILSON: “Education is like a road, it has twists and turns and it sometime feels like you are going uphill and other times it’s flat and smooth. ACE teachers took time to help me, and inspired me to do better.”
