I realized that I would learn things at APCH that I wouldn’t be able to learn in high school. Not only did I learn music skills but also the professionalism and common practices you need to know to be successful.”

– Tony, APCH alumnus

Strong values were highlighted, and the one that has stuck with me is accountability because that is something I struggled with and had to develop as my identity was being shaped. I had role models of strong women and learned I shouldn’t shy away from who I am.”

– Maricruz, APCH alumna
