ahs Happenings
We are grateful for. . .
AHS Students show their gratitude through their advisory groups. Each group discussed what gratitude is and what each of us is grateful for. Check out the video above to see how we did.
who says you can't paint in the dark!
Art I teacher Mrs. Lepore introduced her students to a different, fun way to complete their next project. She passed out the neon paint and let them begin. A few days later, her students walked in to a classroom full of black lights! Mrs. Lepore stated the AHS Art department is always looking for fun, unique ways to reach all students! All of the Art I classes will be completing this activity.
At a recent BETA Club meeting, Mr. Trey Gibson spoke of his daughter's battle with pediatric brain cancer and the organization they have founded in her honor named the Fight Like Emilie foundation. Our Beta officers had the pleasure of handing Mr. Gibson a $300 check for the Fight Like Emilie foundation that was raised though a jeans day initiative.

In the Spotlight
AHS Emmitt Antwine is a nationally ranked debater
Airline High School senior Emmitt Antwine, who is dual-enrolled at Bossier Parish Community College and is a part of the BPCC Debate Team, is the fifth ranked junior varsity intercollegiate debater in the nation in the most recent update from the International Public Debate Association. At this point, Antwine has earned five individual awards in tournaments hosted by Lee College, Louisiana Tech University, University of Southern Mississippi, and LSU-Shreveport.
“What Emmitt is accomplishing is truly remarkable. Nationally, less than 1/10th of 1 percent of intercollegiate debaters are dual-enrolled high school students; and, while seniors often dominate the national top twenty-five, we’re talking about college seniors and not high school seniors,” said BPCC Debate Team coach Bob Alexander. “Emmitt’s character and commitment to excellence attest to the potential of Airline High School students.”
Antwine is the top ranked student in the junior varsity division from Louisiana, ahead of students from LSU, Louisiana Tech, and others. He is also only high school student in the top fifty rankings that were released by the International Public Debate Association on November 5, 2019.
