📣 Yearbook Update 📣
One of the most celebrated events at AHS—Homecoming—was unfortunately not included in the 2024–2025 yearbook.
Our publishing company is working to print the missing Homecoming page. Once the pages are received from the printing company, we will notify the owners of previously distributed yearbooks so they can collect their pages. If you would like the page inserted into your yearbook, please return it with your name inside so we can ensure it is returned to the correct owner.
We sincerely apologize for this error and are working diligently to correct it. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make sure this special memory is included. 📖
