This week's Wildcat way is Noah Tolan! Noah can be found in all parts of our building lending a helping hand with a smile on his face. Last week Noah took the Fan Bus down to Plymouth, and was a leader among his peers. Noah took the initiative to make sure everyone on the bus had snacks, drinks and pizza. Moreover, Noah made sure the bus was clean and is a great example of a Wildcat!
Congratulations Noah Tolan on your selection!

Congratulations! We successfully conducted an unannounced tornado drill before the break, and the entire building was cleared in less than two minutes. We always plan these drills with the hope that they are never needed, but it’s reassuring to see that we are well-prepared.

OK2SAY is the student safety program which allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.
Student Climate Team will be trained to conduct peer mediation for students who are in conflict with one another. The goal of having peer mediation at AHS is to help create a more positive culture in our school where both sides win and one party doesn't feel as if they are being treated unfairly. Please see Mr. Robarge in E110 (School Success) if you need help resolving an issue. Peer mediators don't take sides or place blame on anyone!
