Back By Popular Demand! Tuesday evening, February 15th from 5 to 6:30 PM, Animas High School will be hosting a second College Night for parents and families of the
Class of 2013 who were unable to attend on February 3rd. Please join us to hear how Animas High School will be supporting and guiding our students through the college admissions process.

Come hear how you can support AHS in preparing all our students for post secondary success!

PAC Meeting/Update
Did you see the Ospreys in Friday’s Snowdown Parade? We appreciate all of PAC’s efforts related to this year’s float. A special thank you to Randy and Kathy Black and Tamsin Rohrich . Their vision, direction and participation enabled AHS to have a super successful showing in the parade for the third year in a row! Thanks to all for a scary, good time!
Our next PAC meeting is scheduled for February 17th at 6:00pm at AHS. The AHS Head of School will not be at this meeting so parents/families with questions or comments for Michael should schedule time with him during his next round of Office Hours on Monday, February 21st. Contact pac@animashighschool.com with questions or concerns.
Upcoming Exhibition Events
Animas High School Freshmen will be presenting the following exhibitions to the community on Thursday, February 24th at Animas High School.
The first exhibition event will be “Model U.N.” from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. Students will address issues of the Palestinian refugee crisis, and the recent provocations from North Korea. Students will make speeches, using parliamentary rules, haggling over resolutions, and writing amendments to solve these challenging world problems. It is a great chance to see some critical thinking in action and learn about these global issues. Contact john.fisher@animashighschool.com with questions about this event.
The second exhibition will feature two live performances of Shakespeare's “A Mid-Summer Night's Dream” through the art of shadow puppetry. Students will perform their 21st century variation of this classic piece of theater and literature. Show times are at 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Contact Jessica.mccallum@animashighschool.com with questions about this event
