If you are a freshman, sophomore, or an upper classman, it is important to remember that the grading period ends October 1, 2010.  This grading period determines if you are eligible for athletics in the winter season.  This includes:  Girls and Boys Basketball, Wrestling, and Cheerleading.  If you do not have at least a 2.0 GPA at the end of this grading period, you will need to contact Allan Schmidt, Athletic Director, or Geri Wood, Assistant Principal for further information.

Newsweek has ranked AHS number 1283 compared to all high schools in the nation.  This ranking is measured by the total number of Advanced Placement exams given divided by the number of graduating seniors.  Even though the score is not as high as last year, this could be attributed to more schools with less students participating.  AHS is proud to offer 18 Advanced Placement courses to students each year including:  English, Science, Social Science, Art, Computers, Mathematics, and World Languages.  Students have the opportunity to receive college credit upon taking an exam in May.  Please see your student's counselor for more information.

Parents/Guardians of all students will have the opportunity to meet your students' teachers.  Class schedules and maps will be available in the Multi Purpose Room beginning at 6:00 p.m.  The bell will ring at 6:30 p.m., which will be first period.  You will be following your students' schedule and teachers will be presenting a brief overview of their class. Looking forward to seeing all new and returning parents/guardians on September 9th.
