Edcouch-Elsa ISD ACE Program Introduction

We are excited to announce the implementation of the 21st Century Community Learning Center program also known as the ACE Afterschool Program in Edcouch-Elsa ISD. 

 The ACE program is funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Federal Grant administered by the U.S. Department of Education.  The key purpose of this grant is to support the academic goals of each participating school campus by providing intentional afterschool activities that support school day learning.  It targets students most in need.
