LetterfromthePresident

With great pride and enthusiasm, we present the 2024-2025 ASCTE School Profile. In this overview, you will see how ASCTE continues to redefine student achievement by committing to an educational experience grounded in innovation and excellence.

As we enter our fifth year of operation, we must take a moment to reflect on the remarkable accomplishments of our students. ASCTE has consistently been recognized as a leader in academic rigor and quality, a reputation cemented by being ranked by NICHE among the top 1% of US Public High Schools.

Our third graduating class is poised to leave ASCTE and take their place in the world, equipped with a strong foundation built within these walls. We are confident they will excel in their post-secondary journey at institutions nationwide.

The 2024-2025 school year not only marks the conclusion of our first strategic plan but also the beginning of a new era as we craft a framework for continued success for students across Alabama This execution of our current and future ambitious vision is made possible by the dedication and leadership of our Dean of Teacher & Student Learning and her academic team, as well as the mission-driven investments of our faculty and staff.

We invite you, our current and prospective families, community partners, and national advocates to join us as we continue to lead the way in shaping the future of education Your support and engagement are invaluable as we strive to create even greater opportunities for our students.
