Student Ambassadors
Congratulations to those chosen as AHS Student Ambassadors for the 2011-12 School Year. There was a tremendous amount of interest this year and the faculty was involved in many conversations, spirited debates and tough votes concerning these appointments.
Additionally, because interest in this year’s student ambassador program was so robust, staff strictly adhered to appointment criteria and application deadlines. (We only had room for 24 appointments and we had to turn away some students who did not submit applications on time! )
There will be a MANDATORY AHS Ambassador Training on WEDNESDAY, JAN 11th at 3:30 at AHS in the Commons Room. Appointees who do not attend the training cannot serve as Student Ambassadors. Our first info night is this Thursday and first shadow students attend this Friday.
Thanks to everyone who applied for this year’s student ambassador program!
