The Auburndale High School Wind Ensemble has made history by earning the Otto J. Kraushaar award on Thursday, April 26^th, 2018. This award is given to high school programs who earn Straight Superior ratings at Marching Music Performance Assessment, District Music Performance Assessment and State Music Performance Assessment. This is the top award a band can be given, and the first time Auburndale High School has earned this award since 2000. The band consists of 38 musicians and is under the direction of Ms. Hannah Haugen. They performed Under the Double Eagle by Wagner, A Blessed Hymn by Kahelin, and Songs of Old Kentucky by Karrick.

Juniors and seniors are excused from attending classes on these days for the purpose of learning about a variety of careers and visiting post-secondary schools such as colleges/universities, technical colleges, and exploring military options.  Due to underclassmen testing on these days, students will not attend a normal-day schedule if they are present on campus.

• Students are responsible for arranging a place of business to job shadow, a post-secondary school to visit, or military offices
• Students/parents are responsible for transportation to and from job shadowing location, post-secondary school, and military office visits
• Regardless of the age of the student, a parent/guardian must sign the permission form

For the next few weeks, the Biology teachers will be providing review sessions in preparation for the EOC test.  These sessions will be held from April 23 through May 4 from 2:00 until 3:00 after school, every day.  They will focus on essential topics for the test.  Students should contact their Biology teachers to sign up, find topic schedules, and check for room assignments.  Parents may call AHS and ask for an administrator or guidance counselor for more information.  Online support can be found here at the Biology Resources link.
