This project was more than a gift—it was a symbol of pride, identity, and achievement for students who are the first in their families to graduate high school.\r\n\r\nThanks to the generous support of our donors, every student within my cohort received a stole to wear with honor as they walked the stage. These students have overcome barriers, challenged expectations, and redefined what's possible—not just for themselves, but for their families and the generations that will follow.\r\n\r\nEven more inspiring is where they're headed next: many are now pursuing higher education at colleges and universities, while others have entered trade schools to gain the skills needed to launch meaningful careers. Their journeys are just beginning, but this moment marked a powerful milestone that deserves to be celebrated.\r\n\r\nAs someone who witnessed their growth, resilience, and ambition firsthand, I could not be more proud. These students represent the future—and now, they carry their stories and their communities with them wherever they go.","fullyFundedDate":1747528896821,"projectUrl":"project/a-token-of-gratitude/9161005/","projectTitle":"A Token of Gratitude","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alejandra","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9967520_orig.jpg?crop=828,827,x0,y46&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755034020484","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/alejandra-castro"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_103532","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":341,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.6,"schoolId":103532,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ace Charter High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ace Charter High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/east-side-union-high-school-district/ace-charter-high-school/103532"}
