Course Verification Update - Deadline Extension

Current 9th, 10th, and 11th grade families, please read carefully.  

Dear Alpharetta High School Community,

We sincerely apologize for the technology issue that has delayed access to the Course Verification form. As a result, we have extended the submission deadline to February 13th at 11:59 PM.

Please note that Microsoft IT has not yet been able to retrieve previously submitted data. Therefore, we are encouraging all families to resubmit their course verification information to ensure accuracy.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Again, please accept our sincere apologies for this unintentional disruption.

To view the course recommendations submitted by your student’s current teachers for the 2026–2027 school year, please log in to the Campus Parent or Campus Student portal.

• In the portal, select “More” in the menu to the left.

Submission Deadline: February 13th at 11:59pm

To support this process, please review the AHS Course Catalog on the school website to explore the wide range of course offerings. We encourage students and parents to create a balanced schedule for next year that considers teacher recommendations, extracurricular activities, jobs, community service, family commitments, and adequate rest. Thoughtful planning helps students not only succeed but also enjoy their high school experience.

Proper course placement is essential for success. Additional resources are available on the AHS website under Academics → Curriculum Resources & Guidance.

The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) invites all parents and guardians to participate in a brief survey to share honest feedback about our school. Your input helps guide decisions and improvements at the state and local levels. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and your responses are greatly appreciated. The deadline to complete this survey is Friday, February 13th. 

Thank you for partnering with us to support student success!
