April 12-18
Cougar Nation,
I hope everyone enjoyed a restful spring break. We look forward to finishing these last weeks of the school year strong.
As a reminder, ACHS will remain in Plan B for the remainder of the school year. This means that student schedules will remain the same, having two days of in-person instruction and 3 days of remote learning. All individuals on the ACHS campus are required to wear a face mask that completely covers their nose and mouth. We will continue implementing cleaning protocols. We thank each of you for your diligence this school year as we provide the safest school environment possible for our students.
Keep bringing your A-game!

ACHS Football's Military Appreciation Night
Alexander Central held our Military Appreciation Night at last Friday's football game. Many active and veteran service members were in attendance for the game. ACHS has much appreciation for the sacrifices these individuals have made to allow us our freedoms. Many thanks go out to all our service men and women.
We also would like to congratulate Coach Carter, his staff, and our Cougar football players for their win over South Caldwell on Friday night. Their 49-20 win earned them a trip to the 1st Round of the NCHSAA State Playoffs. The Cougars will travel to Mount Tabor on Friday, April 16th. Ticket information will be disseminated by the Athletic Department when made available. Good luck, Cougars!
