Per district policy all students are required to wear their ID visibly around their neck or chest area. This is a safety measure so that we can identify our Hounds. Additionally, effective January 7, students will be required to present their ID when purchasing lunch to verify that students are using their own lunch accounts. Remember, students can obtain a new ID in the front office. No Hound will go without lunch!

FFA Results
AHS FFA competed at the Sub-District FFA contests at Lake Gibson High School last night. Congratulations go out to:
Tyler Brannan, who won first place in the Extemporaneous Speaking contest and will move on to the District Contest in January at Warner University. Tyler had to select a topic and had 30 minutes to prepare a 4-6 minute speech, then present the speech to a panel of judges. He received many compliments and we hope he does well at the District FFA Contest in January.
Adrith Himmel, who won third place in the Creed Speaking contest. Adrith had to memorize and recite the 5 paragraph FFA Creed and answer 3 questions related to the creed’s meaning. We are very proud of her accomplishment and look forward to her continuing to compete in other contests.
