The 1st Year Team is getting ready to build catapults for League of Our Own. We are asking for volunteers who are familiar with power tools and building to be mentors during the build process. Please use this link to sign up for a time, or times, that you are available. If you have questions, please reach out to Ms. Gaschen. We are looking for 5-6 volunteers during each learning mod. Thank you for supporting AHS learners.

Seniors received this email from the counseling department last week:

Beginning with your graduating class, the Texas Education Agency has updated graduation requirements to include completion of the FAFSA or TASFA or submission of a signed waiver choosing not to complete either form.

We want to support you in completing this important task in preparation for your graduation.

For the next few weeks you will be receiving information regarding paying for college and completion of one of these required forms.

Look for our “Friday Finances” email each Friday for resources to assist you.
