ACT test afternoon.
ACT Test afternoon.
After completing ACT testing the sophomore and freshmen students traveled through a variety of fun and life skill stations.
ACHS held its Prom on April 12. The theme was "House of Cards". Students enjoyed a meal catered by Joe's Pizza and Pasta with dessert of cake pops by Carolyn Myers and various cookies. The Prom court consisted of the following seniors: Abby Weishaar, Charlie Goeckner, Sophia Pearcy, Alex Walter, Grace Lemke, and Tyler Ruffner. The retiring queen was Brianna Grunloh and the retiring king was Justin Magelitz. Abby Weishaar and Charlie Goeckner were crowned the 2025 queen and king!

Today was an exciting, fun day in 4th grade! All the 4th grade classes ate lunch at the park, and then went to watch Shrek, Jr. The Musical at the Little Theatre on the Square in Sullivan. Students and teachers all enjoyed the show!
This month, Mrs. Schafer's Food Classes participated in our annual Cupcake Wars. Each class submitted ideas and then voted on a theme. A2 had the theme "Seasons". The Cupcake Cartel won the war with their cozy Fall Fire cupcake. It was an Apple pie cupcake with cinnamon buttercream. B4 chose the theme "Marvel". The Baking Babes won the war with their Ironman cupcake. It was a lemon raspberry cupcake with vanilla buttercream icing and a lemon marshmallow fondant decoration. All the Foods students did an amazing job!
