Amazing high school!! They offer all kinds of sports, and teach through a christian point of view. I am a student who has attended ACA for 11 years now, and not once have I ever considered leaving. I am involved in three sports, drama, NHS, and student council. ACA gives students the opportunity to be prepared for college.
