Amazing experience with extra curriculars, academics, sports, and the overall culture of our school. The music department has been struggling recently with staff-loss and numbers dropping.

My experience at Alexandria Area High School has been great, like many high school students I am unsure of what my future career path will be, but AAHS has helped me narrow down my choices. There is a wide variety of classes and academies to choose from. I am involved in different clubs, and overall my experience at AAHS has benefitted me in ways that will help me far into the future.

AAHS is a nice school that the hicks don't deserve. The drama department is unmatched... soon to be discontinued. Orchestra teacher is a ped0.
