 The idea of the Just World Festival came from an already-existing festival in Washington D.C., called the Green Festival.
As the officers attended the Green Festival, they were motivated to
bring it down to a student level, and present the information in a more
fun and engaging manner. This led to the Just World Festival, an annual
tradition that began in 2006. Each year, the Festival draws in over 500
students from all over the IB Mid-Atlantic
region and many other schools to AHS. The event features speakers about
a variety of different issues and experiences, exhibitions from
organizations and student clubs from around the region, and lots of
food and dance! Please visit our Photo Galleries and our Archives pages to find more information about the previous Just World Festivals.Some of our past presenters and exhibitors included
Some of our other Festival attractions include a Fair Trade Coffee Shop, a "Movie Theater" in Clausen Hall, and an Exhibit Hall in the cafeteria, where all the exhibitors display their organization's contributions and interact with the students present at the Festival.
