Each year our faculty reflects on the previous school year in order to make changes to improve our students' educational experience. This process results in the Alabama Continuous Improvement Plan or ACIP. This plan provides our faculty and staff with specific goals to aim for and strategies to us to reach the goals. It also consists of stakeholder input and information about the school as a whole. The document is revisited each year and revised to meet the needs of the current academic year. The ACIP can be found by following the links below.
