Principal's Message
Hello Grizzlies,
Welcome back! We are so excited to welcome you back next week. Teachers have been working hard all week preparing lessons, getting classrooms ready and receiving training to help make this year as amazing as possible.
Remember, Monday 8/30 is a day just for 9th graders, 10th graders that were in CDL for the whole year last year and for any students new to AHS. It is a half day, please see the schedule below. It is a day to get your schedule, learn a little bit about the school and meet all your teachers. We will have tables set up in the quad so you can pick up your schedule and head to class. Schedules are also viewable in PowerSchool. It’s going to be fun!
Tuesday, Aug. 31 will be our first day with ALL students back on campus. It will be a “Red Day” meaning you will go to periods 1-4. (see bell schedule below).
In order for this year to be as safe as can be, it’s important that we all follow the COVID-19 safety protocols. That means wearing a mask at all times (indoors and outdoors), social distancing (6 feet outdoors and 3 feet indoors whenever possible), washing/sanitizing our hands and staying home when we don’t feel well.
I look forward seeing our students next week. We all missed the energy and purpose that our students bring on a daily basis last year.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Bell
Half Day for 9th Graders & New Students - 8/30
Starting at 12:20pm, there will be Optional Campus Tours running until 12:50pm. Feel free to jump into a tour lead by our leadership students. They will meet on the quad and leave for multiple tours throughout lunch!

Welcome New AHS Staff!
Katrina Caudill - Special Ed
Hello Everyone! My name is Katrina Caudill and I will be teaching Study Skills. I grew up in a tiny town in the woods of Virginia and was homeschooled until I graduated high school. That didn’t stop me from pursuing a career in education. As a child, I used to beg my sisters to play “public school” where I’d teach mini lessons and assign handwritten worksheets. Since then I have taught in classrooms in Honduras, Japan, and Texas. I took some time from classroom teaching to travel to 30 countries, hike the Appalachian Trail, spend time with my family, and attempt to learn to ski in Colorado. I dreamed about moving to Oregon for a long time and finally made that a reality last summer. I am so excited to be a part of the AHS family. We’re in this together and I know we’ll make it a great year!

Alec Slinkard-Galpin - Counseling
Hello, my name is Alec Slinkard-Galpin and I will be one of the school counselors this year! I am coming here after spending my last 4 years at Maslow and South Medford High School respectively. I love being goofy and doing impressions. I also have two cats, one of which has CH which is a blast! I love working with youth in order to help them be as successful as possible and to show them that they are never alone. I can’t wait to work alongside all of you in order to help our students flourish:)
