Professional Service
PACErs are welcomed by principals who say,
"They bring something into the building that no one else does" — a reference to the up-to-date educational methods, commitment to making a difference in children's lives, and faith-based idealism that characterizes the mission of PACE. PACErs spend
two school years teaching in Catholic elementary or secondary schools. During this time they put their current coursework into practice, with the
ongoing support they receive from their building principal, in-school mentor, and University supervisor. These interactions support PACErs while serving and gaining state certification as licensed educators.
