Represent! One of our many strengths is the diver

Represent! One of our many strengths is the diversity of our campus which is clearly evident as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. From September 15th to October 15th we will celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of those who came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. Many of those countries are represented here at Academy. P.S. check out the interactive mural Mrs. Pichardo created on the Lower Division. It's full of the influential people, food and celebrations of the Hispanic culture.
