From our Community: LCPA Alumni
“Being an LCPA alumni, I’ve seen LCPA transition from what it was, to what it is now. [There is] access to rigorous curriculum, AP [courses], dual enrollment. Anything like that - definitely take advantage of it. You have a lot of resources at your hands and you can go far. You really can. It’s just a matter of taking advantage of those opportunities.”
- Cesar Mireles, LCPA Class of 2010
