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. The goal of this program, initiated by Principal Shannon Kersey in 2015, is to educate the community about the realities, complexities and rewards of being an educator in today’s world. This extremely successful event has brought the Alpharetta community closer together as partnerships and reciprocal supports have been formed and improved each year.
