SCHOOL LUNCH:

Parents - remember to check your students lunch account balance as there are many students who owe money for school meals.

SENIOR GRADUATION VIDEO:

For this year’s Senior Video, we plan to include videos submitted by the Senior Class. The goal is to showcase various times throughout students’ lives. We are specifically looking for childhood videos (baby videos, first day of school, first friends, family trips, etc.) We also need more recent videos of experiences outside of high school (casual hangouts, dances, trips, jobs, etc.)

Obviously, videos need to be school appropriate, which means no swearing, no drugs, and no violence.



We encourage parents to submit videos of their students as well!

All videos submit here at this LINK.

For more information contact Tanner White - whitetan001@alpinesd.org

SKATE NIGHT:

AFHS Skate Night was held on Valentine's Day, 2024. The event was free for the first 100 students.

Four teachers (including Ms. Valentine herself) skated, laser-tagged, and stayed on their feet as they chaperoned the few dozen Cavemen who chose to spend lover's day in the skating rink.
