What: Academy of College and Career Exploration (ACCE) Graduation When: Friday, June 5, 2009, 6:30 p.m. Background: Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke will give opening remarks to ACCE’s second graduating class. These 54 students have completed an individualized and rigorous academic curriculum that incorporates intensive career preparation experiences. They have also completed several unique work experiences that are tailored to their career interests. This unique curriculum and supportive environment has resulted in 100% college application rate, and an 87% college acceptance rate. This statistic is particularly impressive as students attending ACCE are not required to meet any academic entry criteria. ACCE’s 2009 graduates will be attending several prestigious higher education institutions, such as, Towson University, Bowie State University, Stevenson University, and St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Located at 3600 W. 36th Street in Hampden for the past two years, ACCE’s success is due in large part to the support provided by many government, civic, business, philanthropic, educational and community partners including the Baltimore City Foundation, The Johns Hopkins University, the Family League, and the Young Audiences of Maryland that provides artists to teach the “careers in arts” program..
