APC Grants Have Been Awarded – Fall ‘25
A heartfelt thank you to all the teachers, students, and staff who submitted proposals for an APC Fall Grant. These grants are made possible through the generous donations of our Acalanes parents—we are truly grateful for your continued support! We are pleased to announce the following grants have been awarded this fall:

  • Acalanes Leadership – Tri-Valley Leadership Conference (TVLC):
    Leadership students will once again represent Acalanes at the annual Tri-Valley Leadership Conference, where student leaders from fifteen Bay Area high schools come together to learn, exchange ideas, and celebrate their shared commitment to leadership and community.
  • World Language – Peña Pachamama Cultural Experience:
    An evening field trip to Peña Pachamama in San Francisco offers Spanish students a vibrant cultural experience featuring South American food, live music, and dance, providing a meaningful cultural enrichment opportunity during Hispanic Heritage Month.
  • STEM-inist Club:
    The Acalanes STEM-inist Club is working to expand its efforts to inspire and empower young women in science, technology, engineering, and math. APC will help fund a speaker series featuring women in underrepresented industries, volunteering at the AAUW Girls in STEM Conference, and field trips to explore college and career pathways in STEM.
  • Writing Support Pilot Program:
    A new pilot program in our Social Studies classes will introduce Class Companion, an AI-based writing feedback tool designed to help freshmen and sophomores strengthen their writing skills.

Congratulations to all of our Fall 2025 APC Grant recipients for their creativity, innovation, and dedication to enriching the Acalanes student experience!
