Alpharetta High School Foundation(AHSF) is delighted to announce a partnership with Macy’s North Point this month.  

Through Macy’s ‘Big Give Back’ program, shoppers at Macy’s North Point will have the opportunity to voluntarily round up their purchases at checkout, with the difference in spare change collected by Macy’s to benefit the high school. 

To participate, simply make a purchase at Macy’s North Point between September 15 and October 15, 2026 and select AHSF from the sponsored charities. 

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, AHSF works together with the entire school community to support the four pillars of academics, arts, athletics and altruism, and to foster a culture of excellence.  AHSF accomplishes this by raising money to provide meaningful resources for students, staff and the school community, including: 

• scholarships for continuing education; 
• instructional grants and professional development for educators; 
• staff recognition to support retention; 
• impactful school-based programming; and 
• enhancements to campus facilities and equipment.

As parents, guardians and members of the larger AHS community, we invite you to support this program and the high school at Macy’s North Point in the next month, and thank Macy’s for this wonderful opportunity!

Members of the Board are happy to answer questions about AHSF and welcome AHS families to visit the Foundation table on Curriculum Night, Thursday, September 10. 

Dear Alpharetta High School Parents and Guardians,

As we look ahead and lay the foundation for an incredible school year, the Alpharetta High School PTSA is working hard to ensure our students, teachers, and school community have the resources they need to thrive.

In the words of Princess Tiana, "We’re almost there!"

We are officially on the home stretch toward reaching our financial goal for the 2026–2027 fiscal year. With just one final push, we can cross the finish line—we are currently only $1,500 away from our target!

Your support directly funds essential programs, staff appreciation, student events, and school-wide enhancements that make AHS exceptional. Here is how you can help us make this last push:

• Join the PTSA: If you haven't joined yet for this school year, now is the perfect time. Every single membership brings us closer to our goal.

• Consider an Additional Donation: If you are already a member or feel so inclined to give a little extra, any additional contribution will help bridge the final gap.

To purchase your membership or make a direct donation, please visit https://ahsptsa.membershiptoolkit.com/membership

Thank you for your continued dedication, generosity, and support of our Raider community. Together, we can finish strong and set our school up for an amazing year ahead!

Warm regards,

Alpharetta High School PTSA Board

National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.

Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-created theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.

2026-2027 Reflections theme: “What My Culture Means to Me”! The key to the Reflections program is the student interpreting the prompt any way they want to - this is theirs to think about and express however they desire!

The deadline for 2026 - 2027 HS PTSA submissions will be Friday October 9th.
