Auto students had the opportunity to head over to Ferris State Wednesday for their Diesel Days Event. This event includes over 50 area employers and several breakout sessions giving the students a short look inside emerging technologies in the heavy equipment industry.

Community members, AHS alums, and Alma HOF members Mike Miller & Doug Yarnell spoke with our Leadership Class yesterday.


Students were actively engaged in learning during their escape room activity based on the skills they learned while reading The Crucible.





At APS, we believe that every student matters and every day matters!
Our School Board Policy 5301 requires us to notify families if a student is absent more than 10% of school days. Attendance is first checked after the first 20 days of school, and then again at the end of each trimester.
This year, after the first 20 days, we saw a small increase in the percentage of students who have missed more than 10% of days (22.9% in 2024 compared to 23.5% this year).
We are committed to working alongside families to support positive daily attendance, because being at school every day helps students learn, grow, and succeed!

A great start to Homecoming Week! Student Council put on a great event.
