Achievement Center of Texas has a number of events that it hosts throughout the year, some of the at the center itself, larger ones at off-site locations. Some of these events help us raise funds for our center, making it possible for us to provide outstanding service and educational opportunities for our students. All of these events are for the purpose of uplifting and celebrating our students with special needs.

Special Arts Festival

The Special Arts Festival is a day of hands-on fun and activity! Our students work all year long to perform here. At the Special Arts Festival, we have live entertainment spotlighting our students along with students from other programs.

Attendees participate in activities and take home their finished product. You never know who will be there but our special guest, partner and founder John Bramblitt is always offering guidance and hands-on painting advice.

The Special Arts Festival takes place at Spring Creek Church in Garland, TX across the street from the center on Saturday, March 24, 2018, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

We'll display past races (taking care not to give away the years for the race as the start) and take bets on the winning racehorse. We will also have a hat contest for ladies and all other participants. To take the theme home, we'll also have a "winners" photo op.

Summer Show

The Summer Show is a talent show that is held at the end of the summer. This show celebrates the artistic achievements of our students. This year's show will include a student production of The Lion King, including student narration, acting, dancing and singing. The set was also made by our students, with the help and supervision of their teachers.

The Lion King production will be held at the center on Friday, August 18th, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to watch the program where students showcase their talent and interests. Admission is free, but there is a suggested donation at $5.00 per person who attends.
