Congratulations to our AHS Students of the Month — Ne’Vaeh, Angelina, Margie, and Alli! 🎉🐝
We are so proud of these students for their hard work and commitment to excellence. Keep up the great work—you represent the best of AHS!
We also want to congratulate Mrs. Cates, our AHS Teacher of the Month for December. She was nominated by a colleague who shared: "Mrs. Cates is one of the most deserving teachers to receive this reward. I am sure it can be overlooked but everything we do is based on communication and understanding the English language. Every test we take, every professional email we send, every report we fill out is all thanks to an English teacher. She is wise, and she is always helpful." Thank you, Mrs. Cates, for supporting our students and helping them build skills that matter.

🥞 Coach Shaffer’s class has been busy in their classroom kitchen! Last week, they whipped up some delicious cookies, and today they took it up a notch with pancakes! Students took orders, measured ingredients, flipped pancakes, and even delivered them. Cooking isn’t just about food—it’s a hands-on way to develop math, science, literacy, social, and life skills all at once!
Seniors explored Texas State Technical College today to check out all the amazing programs the campus has to offer!

📢 Parents! Red Ribbon Week isn’t just about dressing up and theme days, it’s a chance for you to talk to your kids about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Believe it or not, YOU have a significant influence in your children’s decision to use alcohol and other drugs. It may not seem like it, but students DO listen 👂 when their parents talk about underage drinking and substance use.
The Drug-Free Council program is funded by a grant from TxDOT to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes in Texas. #TalkTheyHearYou
