LPIE

Project LPIE is back for a 9th year at Acalanes! Learn more here and encourage your students to register. Project LPIE is an annual event that highlights Acalanes High School students for their project-based learning in 13 categories both within and outside the curriculum. This is a great way for AHS students to showcase their talents and a nice addition for college applications.
