About Me

HistoryIn the 1970's, Puerto Rican youth exhibited a shocking 70% dropout/pushout rate. Our school was created as an effort from the Puerto Rican community to provide a relevant and community-based educational program. More than 36 years later and at the cutting edge of educational practice, PACHS offers a learning experience based on social ecology, social emotional learning, and historical awareness.LOLITA LEBRON FAMILY LEARNING CENTER (FLC)was created for young parents pushed out of traditional school.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

PhilosophyHere at P.A.C.H.S our major goal is to work with students to focus on their education. Students are encouraged to think critically about their learning experiences and to participate actively in their communities.Our curriculum is divided into 3 areas: The first area involves the development of cognitive skills in the areas of Natural and Social Science, Mathematics, Communications, and the Arts. Accelerated students are offered college dual enrollment through Wright College.The second area focuses on the development of self-identity and self-worth by analyzing the Puerto Rican and Latino reality. Puerto Rican History projects related to the community are organized through the all-school class called Unity.The third area is designed to provide students with hands-on experience. Classes included are video, bomba y plena, typing, dance, guitar and journalism.
