Parents and community members,

Please mark your calendars for Thursday, March 19^th! It is time for us to again partner with Jarrett Gordon Ford to raise up to $6000 for our school through the Drive One For Our School Program. For every eligible test drive of a brand new 2020 Ford, between the hours of 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, we will earn $20! Drivers must be 18 years or older with a valid driver’s license. We appreciate your support!

Congratulations to the AHS Student Technology Association for their achievements at this year’s State Competition and Convention this past weekend in Orlando! Our Bloodhounds were nominated in several events, making Top 3 in the State with “Debating Technological Issues,” and Top Ten in the State in the following categories: Forensic Science, On Demand Video, Music Production, CAD Architecture, Architectural Design, and Children’s Story. Additionally, two TSA students, Mackenzie Stanfield and Colby Todd, each won Scholarship prizes worth $250 and $500. Congratulations to all of these Bloodhounds for all of their dedication and hard work!
