We all know money doesn't grow on trees and college can be very expensive.  With that in mind,  PTSA awards a few senior scholarships each spring.  In order for seniors to be eligible they must be a PTSA member.  Envelopes are
available in the main  office.  Also, students should visit the Career Center on campus.  Mrs. Prentice would be happy to give a student paperwork for one of the MANY scholarships that are out there.  Each year, so many scholarships go unclaimed.  Make sure one of them is yours this year!

Take the stress out of graduation day and support ACHS students at the same time.  For just $30 each (includes a refreshing bottle of water), families can purchase a parking spot or a reserved seat at graduation.  Spend time taking pictures, not saving seats.  Go to the ASB window and buy your tickets today.

For the 5th time at ACHS graduation, a large JumboScreen will preside over the stage, standing 10 feet tall by 15 feet wide.  This screen will be playing live feed of seniors throughout the ceremony, making it easier for loved ones at the top of the bleachers to see the faces of those graduating.  For just $25 for 25 seconds, a JumboScreen ad may be purchased. Submit your photo or congratulatory message to achs2013jumbotron@gmail.com.  All requests must received and paid for by Thursday, May 23rd.
