🌟 Future 6th Grade Presentation & Tour – A Giant Success! 🌟
On April 30th, our 5th-grade students got a sneak peek into middle school life during a special presentation and campus tour! They met the 6th-grade teaching team, explored the school, and had questions answered—all to help ease the transition and build excitement for this next big step. The day wrapped up with lunch, where students got to try items from the main and à la carte menu—always a hit! A giant shoutout to AHHS's amazing Student Ambassadors. These leaders shared practical advice and positive encouragement to help our future 6th graders feel confident and ready.
💚🤍💚 We’re so proud of our future middle schoolers and can’t wait to welcome the Class of 2032 this fall!
