The Advanced Learning Center is so happy to be starting this new year, in our new building, with a new principal, Mr. Ben Ford.

Mr. Ford fits right in here with our group of faculty and staff.  His commitment to making the ALC an outstanding place is already very evident and we are excited to see where his leadership will take us from here on out! 

We are thrilled to have him here and look forward to a great school year.
