Day 1: Why Fighting Stigma Matters: Did you know that stigma can get in the way of life-saving care? Day 2: We all have Mental Health: Did you know that everyone has mental health, just like they have physical health? And that mental illness is a disease just like diabetes or cardiovascular disease? Day 3: See the Stigma: Did you know that there are seven types of stigma? Day 4: Words Hold Power---Mental Illness: How can the language around you stigmatize people with mental illness?

Career & Technical Education seniors, from Alpena & Alcona, participated in National Signing Day on April 18th at Alpena Community College. National Signing Day, through the National Coalition of Certification Centers, is a nationally recognized day that celebrates students who are choosing to continue their technical education at the post-secondary level. This is AHS's 2nd year participating in Signing Day in partnership with ACC. We celebrated the decision of 21 seniors as they signed their letters of intent to continue their education in a variety of technical fields at ACC starting in the Fall of 2024.
