AHS PTSA Announcements
Teacher Appreciation Week

AHS PTSA celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week last Friday with a visit from the Mr. Taco food truck, treating our hardworking staff to a well-deserved lunch. Throughout the week, we recognized the educators and support staff who go above and beyond for our students each day. Their dedication shapes the AHS experience, and we are grateful for everything they do. Events like this are made possible through AHS PTSA membership, which also supports student programs, classroom resources, and staff appreciation initiatives all year long. As we wrap up the school year, we thank our members for their support and look forward to partnering with our AHS families again next school year.
