I want to thank everyone who turned out for yesterday’s PAC meeting. Having two bald eagles soar above our heads as we met was an inspirational omen don’t you think?

Please take a moment to review the following updates:

2011 Enrollment Opens

2011 Enrollment Opens

Enrollment for the 2011-2012 school year opened Monday, January 3rd at 12:00 AM and our rosters are filling up fast! If AHS receives more enrollment forms than student capacity, then AHS will conduct an admissions lottery on March 1st. If the classes of 2014 and 2015 are not over enrolled on 3/1, then the school will accept enrollments until capacity is reached.


Humanities Exhibition


Save the Date- 10th grade Humanities students will be putting on their first exhibition of semester two entitled: Genocide and Imperialism. The exhibition will take place on Thursday, January 20th, from 5 to 6:30 PM. at Animas High School.

AHS Info Nights and Prospective Student Shadow Days

Animas High School will host info nights on Tuesday evenings from 5 to 6:30 PM. A short presentation about AHS’s program is followed by a Q & A session involving staff, current students, parents and board members. Info nights are a fantastic opportunity for our community to learn more about all the great things happening at Animas!

Reservations for student shadow experiences are now being taken by the AHS Main Office. Shadow experiences run from 8 AM to 12:30 PM every Friday and space is limited to six student shadows a week. There are opportunities for both incoming 9th and 10th grade students to shadow current AHS students. Thank you for sharing these opportunities with you family, friends and neighbors!

Powerschool Updates

Every family should be receiving automatic weekly updates from Powerschool regarding your student’s performance/grades. Please let the Main Office know if you’ve changed your email address or if you are not receiving these weekly check-ins.

MLK DAY- No School

A reminder that there’s no school on Monday, January 17th as campus is closed in observation of the Martin Luther King Day holiday.
