Today seven members of the Milford Public Schools came to visit AHS. They are in the beginning stages of their HS building project and wanted feedback and guidance from our staff and students. Many of our teachers opened their classrooms as well as answered the on-going questions of how we do things at AHS. After the tour we met with a number of students from all houses of all grade levels. These students shared first-hand experiences they have had over the past two years. The message to what they feel is special or unique about our school was about people and what goes on inside this extraordinary facility we have. They explained why the new building was different and the opportunities they now have vs the past. The way students gave examples of how teachers care, go the extra mile, and help guide them to be ready for life beyond AHS was noticed. The consistency across departments, houses, areas of interest, and learning as well as extra curricular activities was impressive. Thank you to the city of Attleboro for believing in us as a school district and providing us an institute of learning that allows us to offer students multiple opportunities to explore their interests and develop essential skills.
