Through my years at ACHS, there have been many ups and downs. However, even when the food is subpar, the teachers make up for it by pushing me and my peers to do better and be prepared to enter society as well-rounded individuals. I can confidently say that each teacher and administrator has put their best foot forward so that we students may succeed.
