Hear what it is like to be a part of the team at ACA from a few of our staff...
Donna Smith
Kindergarten Teacher
"ACA is totally the best for me. I began my journey here in 2018 as a substitute teacher. I have worked as a long-term sub in both the classroom and office. I have also worked as a parapro. We have an administrative team that truly cares about not only the students (which is their first priority); but they care about staff members. Care, compassion and love is my description for the top team of innovators. We are a family at ACA. I don't take it for granted and I can't fully explain the family atmosphere, but I can tell you it is a true family. If you want a great teaching experience, join the ACA team"
Nazli Moore
1st Grade Teacher
“There are many reasons why I love working at Arizona Charter Academy, not only do admin care about our students , they care about us teachers. Which is why I love coming to work! They are in your corner and your advocate and to me, that is important. You need your admin to support you as a teacher, help you when in need, and that is what I get from my admin! I know I can go to anyone of them with a concern and they will help me through it all, without judgement. ACA is truly a family. It is my home away from home, we take care of eachother. My 1st grade team is truly a team and and we are there for one another any time of day. I can't forget my kids, they are always the best and teach me so much, sometimes I feel more than I teach them! I have had parents thank me for loving their kids and I just tell them, I love them as I do my own. The students are what make ACA amazing"
Johnny Rios
Elective Technology/Health and Wellness Teacher
Athletic Coordinator
Sports Coach
The best part about working at ACA is seeing the students I taught bring their own kids back to ACA because of how special this place is. I believe a lot of people feel welcomed and are treated like family. Being part of ACA has allowed me to give back to a lot of students, just the way I was brought up with my teachers and coaches. I feel blessed to be a part of something special and at the end of the day I can step back and feel confident that I setup my students or athletes to be better people and prepared for the next chapter of their life."
Maggie Clark
Front Office
"I've seen and experienced so much that I truly feel blessed to show up everyday to be a part of such a positive group of people. Working at ACA has been a rewarding experience for many reasons. I come to work daily and feel like I'm part of the ACA family. I am mostly proud to work for a school that provides equal opportunities and access to a high quality education that all children deserve regardless of their background.
Gabriel Sandoval
Dean of Students
Athletic Director
" I have worked for 19 years in education and multiple organizations in California and Arizona. ACA has been the best experience I have had working as an educator. The staff is welcoming, passionate about their work, and everyone is willing to roll up their sleeves to help. I feel truly blessed to be part of this remarkable team of people."
