Growth Invades Arizona Charter Academy by Melissa Holdaway
It's slotted for two phases, and phase I is just around the corner. ACA is looking to expand by creating self-contained, enclosed classrooms for grades Kindergarten -8th, which should enhance the learning process and help create a more formal learning environment. "Each room will have its own overhead projector , TV, and VCR," said Mrs. Holdaway. The enclosed classrooms will be ready by the start of school in 2007.
Phase II features additional high school classrooms that will provide more elective classes for students. We will do this by building out the 12,000 square foot office located directly behind the current high school building. The vacant lot directly north of the high school building will become the administrative building to include offices and a parking lot. And saving the best for last, the new state of the art gymnasium that will include a stage should be ready by September, 2008. The current playground equipment will be upgraded and moved to a new location to make room for the new gym. The gym will allow us to hold all of our school functions, basketball games, and future school musicals /plays.
"I'm really excited about ACA's future," replied Mrs. Holdaway. "There are so many possibilities and doors that have opened for us." Please feel free to stop by the school and look at our new plans. We welcome you, and we look forward to seeing your children grow with us.
