Dons Dialogue
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first evening Dons Dialogue. Principal Shawn led the discussion with an exciting review of Acalanes’ academic success with recent data on AP test scores. We heard more about the inspiring Breaking Down the Walls program and recent parent feedback through our WASC school accreditation process.
