AHS March Updates

Big Thank you

Thank you to those families who joined us for Literacy Night. We appreciate the support!. We love being able to display all the wonderful work that our students do.

Food Deliveries -- As you know, AHS is very fortunate to have many different options for free lunches. We have Pizza, Ramen, Mongolian, sandwich bar, fast food, Mexican food and home cooked lines. Please do not bring food to be delivered for lunch. We cannot accept door dash or anything like that. We will be checking the side fences as that is also not appropriate to have food dropped off through the gates.

Student Parking -- Student parking is located in the back coming in from Tiger Drive. Students need a parking permit to park back there. To gain a parking permit, students go to the bookstore, show proof of insurance, registration and valid drivers license and pay $10. If that does not work, they can park at the soccer complex and walk over. The parking lot to the south and front of the school is for employee's and not students.

End of 9 week period. -- March 6th. Then only 1 9 week period left till summer. Lets finish strong as we get ready to head into the summer already.

Report cards will be mailed out on the 13th.

Spring Break -- Spring Break is around the corner. March 23rd - 27th students will be out for Spring Break.

National Honor Society Induction -- April 1st

Honor Roll/Amazing Tiger Recognition will take place on Thursday April 2nd during lunch.

April 3rd No School -- This is our "Snow Day" that we did not use so students will not have school this Friday.

Senior vs Teacher Basketball buy out will be held on March 18th. We will have a special schedule in the morning. In the afternoon we will have a buy out to the special assembly. This is an NHS fundraiser and is $1.

Junior Leadership Camp-- Do you have a Junior who you feel would benefit from a free week long leadership camp in the Manzano Mountains? See the flyers below about how to apply. We also have flyers with the counselors that students can pick up.

Yearbook ordering --

If you would like to preorder a copy of the 2026 Eye of the Tiger Yearbook, use the link below. Yearbooks are $65, and the deadline to order is March 20th. Yearbooks sold out last year. Preordering is the only way to ensure getting a copy of the yearbook in May. If you purchased a senior ad, that purchase includes one copy of the yearbook. If you have any questions, contact Scotty Williams (AHS Yearbook Adviser) at scotty.williams@alamogordoschools.org

Spring testing -- April 1st & 8th are testing days for Juniors. These are for state mandated graduation exams.

We will have a regular schedule for all non Juniors.

Juniors need to be on time to avoid missing the start of the test. Once we have started the test, they may not enter the class and start. Signing students out in the middle of these test can result in an irregularity and the test being thrown out and they would need to come back as a senior and re-take. So if at all possible, please do not schedule appointments on these days.

Prom/Attendance -- Prom is around the corner, April 25th. Students wanting to buy tickets to prom need to be sure their truancy rate is 10% or lower. Students wanting to bring a guest from outside Alamogordo High School can pick up guest forms anytime and get that process out of the way to be ready to buy tickets.

Final Exams -- Before you know it Final Exam time will be here. Students will test may 18-20. The 21st is a make up day and the 22nd is graduation. (Seniors will test the 14th & 15th)

Roar Report. Each Sunday evening, Mrs. Porter post's the Roar Report on the high school Facebook page. It contains athletic schedules and announcements for that week. Information about clubs and the arts will also be added.

Herff Jones -- If you have not ordered graduation caps and gowns, be sure to go to herffjones.com asap and get those ordered. Please see Adeline Derenzy email about how to find the cap and gown on the website.

It is SUPER IMPORTANT to be ATTENDING CLASS!!!!

Spring testing -- April 1st & 8th -- If you student is graduating early or moved here this year, they will need to participate in Spring Junior testing which is mandatory for Graduation. If your child is in need of this, Mrs. Wood will be in contact with them.
