Principal’s Message

August 3, 2026

Dear Aspire Pacific Academy Families and Community,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We are thrilled to welcome our scholars back for another exciting year of learning, growth, and community.

When I joined the APA community three years ago, I committed to strengthening our programs and addressing areas for growth as we worked toward charter renewal. As we enter our final academic year before renewal, I am proud of the remarkable progress we have made together. Our accomplishments during the 2025–2026 school year include:

  • 209 collective college acceptances to four-year colleges and universities
  • 86% of the Class of 2026 accepted to a four-year university
  • Increased passing rates on all Advanced Placement exams
  • Growth in SBAC proficiency in Mathematics
  • Significant improvements in average daily attendance and reductions in chronic absenteeism
  • A 100% graduation rate and continued gains in college and career readiness

These achievements are a testament to the hard work, resilience, dedication, and partnership of our scholars, families, and staff. Together, we have created a culture where excellence is expected, support is abundant, and every scholar has the opportunity to thrive.

As we look ahead, two key priorities will guide our work this year:

  1. Excellence: Small Actions Lead to Big Impact
    Our school-wide theme for the year is Excellence: Small Actions Lead to Big Impact. We will encourage scholars to pursue excellence in every aspect of their lives—academically, socially, athletically, artistically, and within their communities. We believe that consistent, positive actions each day lead to extraordinary outcomes over time.
  2. The Year of Literacy
    Literacy is the foundation of learning and the gateway to opportunity. This year, we will place a strong emphasis on developing scholars’ reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills across all content areas. By strengthening literacy, we are equipping our scholars with the tools they need to succeed in school, in college, and in their future careers.

As we begin this new school year, I am filled with gratitude and optimism for what lies ahead. Together, we will continue building a school where every scholar feels valued, challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust. We look forward to another outstanding year as we work together to ensure every scholar is prepared to thrive in college, career, and life.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
— African Proverb

Let’s continue to go far,

Jaime Hahn, M.A.T., M.A.Ed.
