🐾Once a Panther, always a Panther!🐾That’s certainly true for Rachel Fornusek, Alma High School Class of 2024. Rachel is a student at Ferris State University now, but Alma Public Schools will always hold a special place in her heart. We are fortunate that she returned to APS this summer to help with the improvements to the school’s buildings, serving as Assistant Project Engineer Intern! Rachel has had an important role in the project, creating spreadsheets to track information and even leading safety orientations for workers. As an intern, Rachel says she has tried to “soak in as much knowledge as [she] can” during her time on the project.

“The most rewarding part of the project is knowing how many people, especially kids, this work will impact. It is also fun to have all the memories of these places as I walk the halls of each school every day,” Rachel said.

During her time at APS, Rachel was involved in several teams and organizations. Rachel says she has applied the skills she learned during her time at APS to her internship.

“I learned a lot of my foundation (all pun intended!) at APS. I learned how to be a teammate, how to collaborate, how to work hard and how to play harder,” Rachel said. “I also learned how to be a good communicator, how to delegate and how to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines.”

🐾We are glad to have Rachel back this summer, and we appreciate the work she has put into making her school a wonderful place for students to learn and grow for years to come!🐾

We're excited to see another phase of our bond improvement projects moving forward at the high school!

As part of this work, the building's water service must be temporarily shut off, which means the high school pool will be closed August 3 rd–14th.

We know this may be an inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue making important improvements to our facilities. These upgrades are an investment in our students, our schools, and our community—and we can't wait to share the finished results with you!

Thank you for your continued support!

Temporary Pool Closure Due to Air Quality

Due to poor air quality from wildfire smoke affecting our area, the Alma Public Schools Aquatic Center will be closed today and tomorrow. While our pool is indoors, smoke has impacted the air quality inside the facility, and the health and safety of our swimmers, staff, and visitors is our top priority.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates regarding reopening as air quality improves.
