Huge years for APCSA at Jacobs! 3.82 average, way above the national and IL average! 94.1% pass rate! 51 test takers, we have both quality and quantity at Jacobs! I love these students!!
ACES Computer Science goes 1-2 at the NIU Sectional!
Jet Trommer - 1st Place
Jack Baldwin - 2nd Place
Both will be going to state in April!
Jet Trommer & Jack Baldwin tied as Regional Champs in Computer Science for the ACES Competition! Sectionals is next!
Jacobs A finished 3rd out of 40+ teams at the MSOE OP Coding Competition! Great job by Jonah Armbrecht, Sahasra Kotarkonda, Jet Trommer and Jack Baldwin! First time at the competition! @JacobsHighS
At MSOE for the OP Competition for Computer Science! Early morning and a long trip, but worth it! @JacobsHighS

ALT Students work and discuss design projects in a round classroom with numerous monitors hanging from the ceiling and a central podium designed to allow faculty and students to see each other more clearly.
Got to see a bunch of former APCS students at a wedding last night! Almost all of them are in the CS field now and are extremely successful!

Jacobs 2020 grad Ashleigh Price came into today to speak to all our APCS classes
Ashleigh is a current student at EIU, majoring in Digital Media Technology, with minors in Computer Science and Studio Art
She is an amazing combination of art and CS
