Teacher For A Day!

On Tuesday, November 20th, AHS hosted its annual Teacher for a Day event where Alpharetta civic leaders and community members are invited to spend the day shadowing an AHS teacher.

This extremely successful event has brought the Alpharetta community closer together as partnerships and reciprocal supports have been formed and improved each year.

Mr. Lester's R.I.C.H Raider Class!

Mr. Lester selected his 1st period Honors World Literature class as his R.I.C.H. Raider class. He comments that they are "always positive, upbeat, and on point with their lessons" and that he is "blessed and humbled to begin each school day" with them.

Crump's R.I.C.H. Raider Class!

Crump's R.I.C.H Raider Class is regarded as "hard working and positive" while supporting one another and maintaining the highest GPA in all of his classes.

Ms. Parris's R.I.C.H Raider Class!

Ms. Parris's R.I.C.H Raider class is her Spanish I second period. She remarks that the class is "the most hard-working and motivated class, and the students desire to participate and learn is exceptional."

Ms. Johnson's R.I.C.H. Raider Class!

Ms. Johnson's 3rd period class is one of the most inquisitive 9th grade On-level Biology classes I have ever taught. They routinely ask questions that take concepts and content beyond what we are learning and into the 4.0 Proficiency Scale range. I truly feel like a facilitator in that classroom, guiding them on their journey rather than just a discriminator of information.
