Greetings New AHS Students and Families,


We hope your summer is going well and we look forward to having you join our school community for the 2023/24 school year. As a reminder, we are creating AHS Student IDs now so they will be ready when students arrive on August 21. In order to do this, we are asking you to send in a headshot like the one below, similar to a passport or driver's license photo. Please be sure the photo follows these guidelines:

  • facing forward, capturing full facial features and upper part of shoulders
  • no sunglasses, hat or hood over the head
  • empty space around the face with no other people in the background
  • solid, light color background, preferably white


Send to melissa.machicek@animashighschool.com at your earliest convenience.


Thank you for your help with this summer project, and we appreciate those who have already sent photos that meet these parameters!
