ACE Volunteers
One of our campus core values is Community. We believe that engaging with and supporting our community makes our school better. Alternately, we also believe that when the community is able to engage in the day to day of our school, the students and the school benefit. Our goal is to provide you with opportunities to serve at Autumn Creek so that you can positively impact student lives.
