Many exciting accolades and attention for AHS this week….
Architecture Award
AHS shines with building structures/design awards. Earlier this year educational architect Craig Olsen along with the Kaestle Boos Associate team submitted the Attleboro High School building project for the Learning By Design Awards of Excellence. This is a national school design recognition of very high regard. We are proud to announce that the project received the Citation of Excellence Award. The design team worked alongside the city of Attleboro and the school team to create a building conducive to multiple learning opportunities while offering the community a flagship building with endless possibilities.
