We are excited to celebrate our Seniors this year! We are particularly proud of this group of students, as our first graduating class that spent all four years at Alliance.
This newsletter contains information specifically for families with Seniors. Please read through the information carefully and let us know if you have questions.

Senior Year To-Do List
Take Senior Portraits: In order to have your senior portrait in the 2021-22 Edition of the Luminary, our yearbook, students must book an appointment with Cady Studios. For more information, please click HERE: Cady Studios Senior Portraits
Purchase a Yearbook and a Senior Ad: It is traditional for many families to choose to purchase a Senior Ad in the yearbook to celebrate our seniors. Please see the flyer below for information, or Click HERE: AAI 2022 Yearbook and Senior Ads
Attend Senior Parent Night: Our counselors will host a Senior Parent Information night on August 25 at 7:00 PM. See the Counselors Corner below for the link.
Fill out the Senior Brag Sheet: As part of many college applications, our counselors must write a letter of recommendation for each student. Many colleges also ask students to have teacher letters of recommendation. To help you and your student prepare for college applications, we ask that every senior and a parent fill out a Senior Brag Sheet to help us write the best possible letter for our students. See the Counselors Corner below for these links.
Visit Colleges and Universities: We recommend that families start looking at colleges and universities that your senior may want to attend after graduation. Many colleges offer virtual college visits as well as in person visits. Students who attend in person college visits are allowed up to 4 excused absences for those visits, but must fill out the College Visit form in order for the absence to be excused.
