2013 Summer Message

“It is Finished”

I hope this message finds all of you enjoying a much needed time of rest and relaxation.  After one of the most challenging school years that I have ever been associated with, we can finally say “It is Finished”.  Now as we turn the school calendar to 2013-2014, our preparation begins for what is shaping up to be a very exciting year.  With a little luck we can only hope that the rigorous reform that burdened our school family will settle in and allow us to grow and prosper.

The challenges that we face in the coming year are related to the incredible growth that will invade our campus when the fall rolls around.  I am currently trying to plan for creative spaces to house teachers and students alike.  We will embrace these challenges and begin a new journey that will hopefully allow our school community to see the success that has become the norm for AHS.

The coming term will be a year-long celebration of what we have named “The Golden Year”.  This year we will see the 50^th graduating class that is poised to have an outstanding year in all aspects of the educational experience.  We look forward to seeing our faithful alumni become reconnected with AHS and relive wonderful memories that reveal a passion and love for this special school.

We want to wish those who will no longer be with us a great and prosperous future.  We regretfully say good bye to Mr. Pickett, Sgt. Dawsey, Mrs. Robinson, Ms. Sargent, Mrs. Williamson, Mrs. Patterson, and Mrs. Beville.  As much as they will be missed, we look forward to the new family members that will potentially impact us in a great way.  I will be diligent to find the quality teachers and staff members that will only enhance our effort to be excellent.  With all this being said I will close out the summer message hoping that all of you are blessed in and throughout this time of respite.  Finally, it is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!

May God Bless You,

Jason Rowland

Principal AHS
