Attention students: Our spring musical is quickly approaching! Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will be performed on April 4, 5 and 6 at 7pm in the AAHS Auditorium.

This irresistible show is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, from disco to country-western to calypso. Student and staff tickets are available now in the student store for $5 ($10 for adults). Get them now and beat the lines the nights of the shows!

Attention all Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors: Have you done any community service work in the past year? Community Service performed for the school course doesn’t count. If so, you could win $200 from The Challenge Program! We don’t have many applications yet so don’t assume you have not done enough community service to win. Applications for the Community Service awards are available outside the Guidance Office. Applications are due by April 15th.
Hello friends! At 11:06PM on Tuesday, March 19th, winter officially came to a close! The Sun crossed Earth’s Equator, officially ushering in the Vernal Equinox and official start to spring. The Sun will now spend the next 6 months above Earth’s equator, and we’ll receive more daylight than darkness. And for the next 3 months, the Sun will rise higher in the sky each day. The days will grow longer, as we approach the Summer Solstice in late June. So, we’ve officially made it to the last season of the 2023-2024 school year. Great job to students and faculty alike! And for more exciting tips like this, please sign up for a future Astronomy class in the Planetarium.
Attention Astronomy Club: Our St. Francis field trip was one for the ages!
Let’s keep that science sizzle going as we ramp up for our two end-of-year
field trips. Our next meeting will be this Thursday, March 21st in the Planetarium from 2:50-3:20PM after school. You will receive permission slips for our solar eclipse field trip to Fort Roberdeau on the afternoon of Monday, April 8th. Remember, don’t look at the Sun without certified eclipse filters. It will sizzle your eyeballs. Hope to see you there!
Attention Seniors: If you are planning a future in any of the many aspects of Cosmetology, then you will want to stop by the literature rack outside of Guidance and pick up the Carol Jo Sicheneder Scholarship application, offered through the Salon Professional Academy, valued at $4,000.
