Achieving Collegiate Excellence and Success (ACES) is a collaborative effort between Montgomery College, Montgomery County Public Schools, and the Universities at Shady Grove to support students and provide a seamless path to
a bachelor's degree.
The ACES student support program provides academic coaches to targeted high school students in ten Montgomery County Public High Schools, at all three Montgomery College campus locations,
and at the Universities at Shady Grove.
The coaches provide both academic and student support, using a case management approach. Coaches meet individually with students and provide:
​
-
Test preparation
-
Tutoring
-
Assistance with college applications and financial aid/scholarship applications
-
College visits
-
College transfer workshops
-
Other support services as needed
ACES coaches identify and neutralize barriers to student success that may prevent a student from degree completion.

After receiving her bachelor’s degree from McDaniel College, Terré Thomas moved to South Korea for a year to teach English to children ages 3 to 17. Upon her return, she earned her master's degree from Nova Southeastern University in Cross Disciplinary Studies and accepted a position as an Admissions Counselor at Mount St. Mary's University from 2009-2011. In 2011 she accepted a job as Assistant Director of Graduate Admissions at Trinity Washington University. Ms. Thomas decided she would return to undergraduate admissions realizing she wanted to make sure students in the Washington Metropolitan area are aware that college is an option for them. In 2012 she accepted a position as a Recruitment and College Access Coordinator at Montgomery College. It was this career move that solidified her desire to work with "at-Promise" youth and encourage them to pursue higher education. She joined the ACES staff October 2015 and has been hitting the ground running ever since. Ms. Thomas is also proficient in American Sign Language and moonlights as an Interpreter.
