Science Fair is a great opportunity for students to show schools that they can develop an original research question, gather and analyze data, and draw meaningful conclusions—especially valuable skills in the age of AI.

It’s also a fun way to partner with a friend you don’t have classes with or showcase a project, passion, or hobby you pursue outside of school.

And there’s an opportunity to go even further! Students who place in the Top 3 advance to the District Science Fair, with the opportunity to continue on to the State level if they place there.

Have an idea you’ve been curious about? Turn it into a research project and see where it can take you!

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 
• 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!

Additionally, members of the Board are happy to share in information about AHSF, and welcome AHS families to join the Foundation for its annual General Meeting on Wednesday, September 16 at 7:30 a.m., with the location TBD at the school.

Questions may also be sent to raiderfoundation@gmail.com.

Alpharetta High School will be offering the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) test on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. All interested students in grades 10–12 are encouraged to participate.

What is the ASVAB? 

The ASVAB is a career exploration test that helps students learn more about their strengths and how those strengths connect to different career paths. It includes sections on math, reading, problem‑solving, and mechanical concepts.

Does taking the ASVAB mean a student is joining the military?
No. The ASVAB is simply a tool to help students explore options.

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.
