PCCES will guide and nurture all students as they discover and cultivate their unique gifts and talents, while challenging each individual to achieve his or her full potential. The vision and mission for PCCE is guided by PUC’s 3 Commitments: 1. Five times more college graduates within the communities we serve. 2. After four years with us, students are proficient. 3.
