Craig Frederickson, Interim Director of MAAC Community Charter School 

MAAC Community Charter School (MCCS) was established in 2001 and is chartered under Sweetwater Union School District. Its mission is to provide low-income, "at-risk" students in grades 9-12 through age 24 a high school diploma in an educational environment where they are challenged, excellence is expected and differences are valued. The school opened with 55 students and has increased enrollment to 300 students. The campus features more than 30,000 square feet, including 13 classrooms, technology computer laboratories, a multi-media classroom, a science lab, a library and large multi-purpose room. In May 2005, sixty students are expected to graduate. Of the 51 students who graduated in 2003-2004, over 50% enrolled in local city colleges.
