This Week at AHN

Tournament Benefits Veterans


Congratulations to seniors Rylee and Kate for raising $400 for veterans with a badminton tournament over the weekend.


The tournament was held to benefit Homeward Bound Adirondacks which is an organization staffed predominantly by veterans to assist the veteran community across Northern New York.

Casual Friday


All this week we’ve been looking for ways to help de-stress ahead of high school exam week, and we’ve capped things off with Pajama Day on Friday!

Special Treat


Thank you to AHN’s Parent Association for providing Thursday's very popular hot cocoa bar in The Commons during lunch periods!

In the Community


AHN's Director of Marketing and Communications, Mr. Perritano was the guest speaker Friday evening for UAlbany's Part-time Weekend MBA for Executives' Marketing Management Class.
