As our school continuously grows, more and more students seem to be flooding through our gates. I had the opportunity to meet many new people this year, one of them being Jake Newman, current junior. I met Jake through ACP’s varsity swim team, and in an interview, he introduced himself and explained who he really is.

A: My name is Jake and I’m in 11th grade.

Q: Why did you come to ACP?

A: I came to ACP to challenge myself academically in order for me to prepare for college.

Q: What has been your favorite part of ACP so far?

A: My favorite part of ACP are the students. Everyone is so nice and friendly.

A: I have been swimming since freshman year.

Q: If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?
