Wildcats in Action

It was a great week at ACHS!

Our Prowlin' Growlin' Wildcat Marching Band have been practicing hard all year, and this past Friday's halftime show was great! The band are progressively adding pieces to their show and it's starting to look amazing! If you haven't got a chance to check them out, please stick around at halftime this week to cheer on these awesome students! The new marching uniforms look great as well!

Our High School Boys Football program took on Munday this week in the first district game of the season! Our Junior High put up a tough fight this past Thursday and did very well against a tough Munday team! Our Varsity participated in a high scoring affair on Friday night but ultimately walked away falling in the district opener. The boys showed some great toughness this week!

Our High School Volleyball program started district play this week with games against Nocona and Olney! The JV picked up two dominant wins against our district foes and have been progressively improving throughout the year! Our Varsity program played Nocona in four close sets but ultimately dropped the district opener 1-3, but rebounded on Saturday with a dominant 3-1 victory over Olney! The Varsity Lady Cats move to 18-11 on the season with a 1-1 district record.

Our JH Volleyball Girls took a break from district competition this week and competed in the Windthorst JH volleyball tournament. The girls had a good performance in Windthorst and have progressively improved throughout the season!

JH One Act Play has been off and running! The players rehearse their show every Tuesday and Wednesday after school and are set to put together another exciting performance this year!

Wildcat Rising: The Will to Win

Together We Rise: Grit

There comes a point in every year when success becomes less about excitement and more about grit. Grit is the ability to keep going when you're tired, frustrated, disappointed, or simply don't feel like doing what needs to be done. And right now, that is something we need from every Wildcat.

We need emotional grit—the ability to handle adversity, control our reactions, move past setbacks, and refuse to let frustration or negativity take over. Not everything will go exactly the way we want it to, and there will always be things we could complain about. But complaining rarely moves us forward. Grit means choosing to be positive, looking for solutions instead of problems, and remembering that the people around us ultimately want the same thing: what is best for our students, our school, and each other. We may not always agree on how we get there, but we cannot lose sight of the fact that we are on the same team.

We need physical grit—the willingness to keep working, competing, practicing, and showing up even when we're tired. And we need academic grit—staying focused in the classroom, completing the work, asking for help, and refusing to settle for less than what we are capable of achieving.

Being tough doesn't mean things don't affect us. It means we don't allow difficult things to determine what happens next. We respond. We refocus. We stay positive. We get back to work.

And this is where Together We Rise becomes more than just our theme. When someone beside you is struggling, encourage them. When someone loses focus, help bring them back. When negativity starts creeping in, be the person who changes the conversation. When you're having a difficult day, lean on the people around you—but keep moving forward. We need each other, and we owe our best attitude and our best effort to each other.

There will always be distractions. There will always be adversity. There will always be reasons to complain if we go looking for them. Let's choose instead to look for reasons to believe in one another and in what we are building together.

Stay focused. Stay tough. Stay positive. Do your part. Pick each other up. Together We Rise.
