Hungry?

Prospective and returning students are invited to attend the AAHS Big Big BBQ on Thursday, August 12th from 5-7pm. The event will take place in the AAHS parking lot, and will feature free food, good people, and a chance to mingle with next year’s staff and discuss the upcoming school year.  We’d also love to hear about what you’ve been up to over the summer.

Prospective students are encouraged to attend; tours will be available, and all questions will be answered regarding enrollment, curriculum, etc.

Come and get it!
