SEATBELTS ARE FOR EVERYONE
Students and Parents,
Please always use your seat belt. AHS will again be participating in SAFE or Seatbelts are for Everyone. Sometime soon, you may receive cash just for being caught wearing your seatbelt. Throughout the year, you will have four chances to sign pledge cards to enter drawings for $25 Visa gift cards. We will present students with messages and the goal is increasing seat belt usage. Always wear your seat belt, It could save your life; and you might win some $$$ just for wearing a seat belt. Good luck!
FENDER BENDER -

KSHSAA FINE ARTS SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE
Andover High School has been selected as one of 18 commended for the KSHSAA Performing Arts School of Excellence award winner. A total of 23 Kansas high schools will receive recognition by the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) for outstanding performing arts programs.
A selection committee was formed from the following associations: Kansas Music Educators Association (KMEA), Kansas Speech Communication Association (KSCA) and the Kansas Thespians (Theatre). Leaders from these three associations along with the KSHSAA staff collaborated to discuss numerous high schools that scored exceptionally high in debate, speech, music, and theater during the 2023-24 school year. The committee and the KSHSAA chose one winner, four finalists and 18 commended schools from across our great state. All 23 schools will be recognized with a certificate from the KSHSAA.
