The mission of ACE Tech is to provide our students with the highest level of instruction and academic achievement combined with exemplary character development that will prepare them for post-secondary and apprenticeship education. The fulfilled ACE Tech educational experience will provide our students sustained lifelong success. ACE Technical Charter High School was founded in 2004 by a passionate group of Construction Industry professionals and entrepreneurs. This collection of conscientious pioneers desired to introduce Chicago youth to careers in Architecture, Construction, and Engineering. The ACE Tech Board of Directors is comprised of education professionals, entrepreneurs, and construction industry professionals. ACE Tech serves approximately 500 students. ACE Tech is able to provide greater access, programs, support and opportunities to its students with the stalwart support of its community stakeholders. Some of these stakeholders include the American Institute of Architects, American Society of Civil Engineers, Builders Association, Black Contractors United, Hispanic American Construction Industry Association, International Brotherhood of Carpenters, and the Illinois Road and Transportation Builders Association. The aforementioned community stakeholders have provided ACE Tech students with internship opportunities that have resulted in jobs and additional revenue that helps to reinforce the academic programs of ACE Tech. We are grateful to those of you in our industry who support our mission and our students. By supporting ACE Tech you are truly making a difference in the lives of inner city youth who otherwise would not have the inspiration of you and your firms as they decide which career is most attractive to them. I invite those of you who have not yet visited ACE Tech to come and learn more about us and our students. Visit us and help create a wonderful year of achievement and inspiration for our youth.
