Good afternoon-

Report cards should now all be  uploaded to your My Documents page in iStudent/iParent. GPA and decile rank can be viewed for students in grades 11 & 12. GPA and decile is not shared with underclassmen until the close of sophomore year. Please reach out to your counselor if you have any questions or concerns about grades.

Class meetings will be held this week to share information about course registration. Students will begin the approval process and choose their electives after February vacation. I will share the Google Slides and the iStudent Guide for Course Selection with students at the meetings then post the slides and share them here next Friday.

Class of 2022 Seal of biliteracy information:

Students are encouraged to sign up to take the AAPPL test in March if they feel they are biliterate and wish to receive the Seal on their diploma.

Class of 2024 information:

Are you interested in mental health support and prevention? Would you like to have a voice in what AHS does to support mental health?

Recently, we received grant funding to join JED High School, a public health, systematic approach that helps schools to assess and strengthen their policies, programs, and systems to equitably support emotional well-being and suicide prevention for all students. 

The first part of the program is to develop an interdisciplinary team whose members represent the entire high school community. The team helps to establish our baseline data and is composed of faculty members, students, parents, and other interested community members.

If you are interested in being part of this team please sign up here: JED High School team
