Accelerating Campus Excellence (ACE)
Launching in 2019 - 2020, Lubbock ISD’s Accelerating Campus Excellence (ACE) program is a new approach to education, which focuses on strategic staffing and student support.
ACE first identifies specific staff members who will best fit the individual needs of students at participating campuses. It then ensures every student is supported academically, socially and emotionally in order to reach his or her greatest potential.
