Cougar Nation,
We are now another week closer to the end of the school year. We don't have many weeks left, so I want to encourage everyone to push through. Progress reports will be sent home on April 22nd for B-day students and April 26th for A-day students. Please review your student's progress report and contact their teachers with any questions you may have.
Graduation information has been updated below. Please review our current plans for this year's graduation. More information will be sent out as decisions are made.
I hope everyone has a great week , and keep bringing your A-game!

School Librarian Appreciation
April is School Library Appreciation Month. ACHS is blessed to have one of the best Media Coordinators around, Mrs. Tracy Chapman. Mrs. Chapman does so much to make sure that our Media Center supports our students learning. She also works with our teachers to support the integration of technology into their lessons. Mrs. Chapman is an integral part of ACHS. Please take a moment to read the bulletin (above) regarding the innovation that occurs by all ACS Media Coordinators, including Mrs. Chapman.
We appreciate all you do, Mrs. Chapman. Thank you!
