Alto ISD is committed to ensuring that all partnerships reflect the values and expectations of our district and community. At this time, we are pausing our relationship with Lifetouch and are consulting with legal counsel regarding our options for exiting the current contract.
Prior to the most recent information brought to our attention, we had already begun exploring the possibility of working with local photographers for future campus needs. Our goal has always been to partner with vendors who best serve our students, families, and community.
At this time, the only photos previously scheduled with Lifetouch are elementary class pictures on April 9. We will notify families well in advance of that date regarding who will be taking those photos.
We appreciate your patience and support as we work through this process thoughtfully and responsibly. If you have questions, please contact the administration office.

Mrs. Carpenter and two students braved the cold last week to show their Beefmaster heifers at the Fort Worth Stock Show! After returning briefly to Alto, Mrs. Carpenter and Mr. Davis then traveled back to Fort Worth with the largest group of rabbit exhibitors to date—15 students showing 24 rabbits.

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.
