U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORTS
Another banner year for A.H.S. in high school rankings! The U.S. News and World Report have stopped awarding Gold, Silver and Bronze medal status to schools, and instead provides a ranking. A.H.S. was recognized as the #1 high school in the valley, and 15th best high school in the state. This places us in the top 5% of the high schools in the state of Oregon. This is due to your hard work, dedication, and providing high-level standards to each of our students. If you would like to read more about it, check out the link below.

The Ashland Police Department Survey
A new community survey was released by the Ashland Police Department (APD). In partnership with the Ashland Culture of Peace Commission and BetaGov, the brief, 10-item survey does not collect identifying information so that responses can be honest and accurate. The survey seeks input on APD relationships and engagement with the community.
All members of the community are encouraged to participate in this survey, which can be found on the department’s webpage, as well as at the website wwww.ashlandpd.com. Hard copies of the survey can also be picked up and turned in at the police department located at 1155 E. Main Street.
The survey closes the second week of June – let your voice be heard!
Community Volunteers Needed for AHS Spring Business Trade Show program!
This will be a trade show like environment where all the students in Ashland High School’s Intro to Business and Small Business classes will be showing off their entrepreneurial ideas. Students have tables with products to display and show off to judges along with their elevator pitch. Judging times spans the entire class period, but judges are able to come and go during that time as it fits their schedule. When at the trade show, judges will be asked to walk around and talk with the students about their business ideas, then vote for the ideas they like best.
*There is no specific time commitment for the trade show, judges can come and go as they please during the sessions and spend as much or as little time as they want, talking to and evaluating business ideas.
