And.... 2024- 2025 is off

This year has gotten off to a whirlwind start. We are excited to see students participating and supporting upcoming games. Homecoming is right around the corner.

We have amazing students at AHS who have adjusted wonderfully to the new morning procedures with the Weapons Detection System. The first days were interesting, but now, the lines go smooth and usually with out much of a hitch. Thank you to you and our students for your patience as we all learn this new system.

October 16th will be a testing day for most students.

9th & 10th grade will take PSAT
