ACHS Student Council and counseling department are excited to invite businesses to participate in our upcoming High School Career Fair on March 10th. Businesses will have the opportunity to connect with bright, eager students ready to explore various career paths. This is a unique chance for your business to showcase the roles and opportunities you offer to the next generation of professionals.
We believe that your presence at the fair will make a lasting impact on these students and help shape the workforce of tomorrow.

During math, Mrs. Miller's class practiced writing letters in the snow with pencils, and, for their morning greeting they took turns "ice skating" to greet a friend.
When it snows all day and you can't go out and play in it, you bring the snow inside to play with.
Mrs. Miller's class had a blast playing with snow to end their Friday! ❄️
