About the school
Austin College and Career Academy (ACCA) is a newly consolidated high school in the Austin community. ACCA serves to prepare students for college and/or career after high school. Our culturally responsive instructional focus is grounded in research-based academic and socio-emotional supports which will ultimately lead to increased overall student growth and achievement. The work at ACCA is led by one critical question: is it in the best interest of students? At ACCA, we strive to maintain and cultivate the historic TIGER PRIDE!
