If approved, the bond election would include an increase of 1.5 cents to the district’s interest and sinking tax rate.

The AHS Concert Choir is the only Class 4A school in the state to receive this honor and one of only four Class A-4A schools to earn this honor in the past decade.
Concert Choir has been working incredibly hard all year long to prepare for this program and in preparation for their trip, they will be performing preview concerts around the metroplex. The Concert Choir would like to invite the entire community out to Flower Mound United Methodist Church on Tuesday, Jan. 25 for a concert beginning at 7 p.m. The concert will only last 30 minutes and it will be the debut performance of their program titled "Through the Storm."
