My Story

Briana Morales was recently named the 2023 Illinois Teacher of the Year for her significant contributions in alternative education. She graduated from ACE in 2020 with an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction and is now pursuing an Ed.D. in Diversity and Equity in Education from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Morales has an admirable commitment to eliminating youth violence and supporting teen parents through her nonprofit, (Sister)Hood of Hope, Inc.

“Teachers have lit up my life at every moment when I thought the darkness might win, and this past year has given me the time and opportunity to thank those who are doing the same thing for students in every corner of our great state.鈥
