Attention all students
It's Spirit Week! Leadership reminds all students that, while this week is meant to be fun, the AHS Code of Conduct must still be followed. If you don't think you should wear or do something this week, you likely shouldn't. If you aren't sure, please talk to your administrators or Mr. Thatcher, the Leadership teacher. Let's all do our part to make this a fun and exciting week for all!
Assembly Etiquette
Four points will be added to the Winterfest Assembly judging this year
Leadership is taking steps to improve student behavior during our upcoming Leadership assembly. If there are multiple issues with respect during the assembly, points will be deducted live from the class as necessary. Examples of respect may result in points being added back. To ensure that you don't get any points taken away, follow these simple rules.
Be Respectful of Presenters
Treat Property With Care
Stay in the Stands
Be Mindful of Others
