Archer Academy of Accelerated Learning, formerly known as Los Puentes Charter School was founded in 2002. LPCS was the vision of Nancy Jo Archer, CEO of Hogares, Inc. She saw the need for a supportive mental/emotional/behavioral educational setting for youth experiencing difficulty with the traditional school setting, and were considered at-promise. A committee comprised of educators, mental health professionals, and community volunteers worked for a year to assure that Los Puentes would be a dynamic and effective charter school.
