On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students at Valdosta Early College Academy, we would like to say thank you to all our Community Partners in Education (CIPE) and to all community partners who are committed to serving education. We are so appreciative to our CPIEs for all they did for us, big or small; it did not go unnoticed.
