Principal's Message
AJHS Family,
The first full week of school went great! I want to commend our students for adjusting to our new bell and class change schedule as well as for their attentiveness during last weeks class meetings.
We had a busy after school schedule this past week with Volleyball starting their season and the Football Jamboree. Our 9th grade Football teams kicks off their season at home this Monday.

8th Grade Volleyball Champs!
Congratulations to the 8th grade volleyball team for going undefeated today and winning the West Morgan 8th grade volleyball tournament!!!
9th Grade Band Honors!
Congratulations to 9th grade band students, Vicky Canuto and Jackson Douglas, who made the Auburn University Marching Honor Band! They will perform during the halftime show with the Auburn University Marching Band for the Auburn University vs San Jose State Game in September! Way to go Vicky and Jackson!!
Dress Up Themes
We love supporting Black Bear Nation throughout the year! One of the many ways we show our Black Bear Pride is through dress up themes on Fridays throughout football season. We would love to see our students join in on the fun!
John Baylor ACT Test Prep
DCS is proud to offer our students extra ACT test prep through the John Baylor program. It is never too early to start thinking about your goals for this important college-acceptance test.
Spread the Word
We will attempt to get information out to our students and families in many different ways. Although SchoolCast is great tool to get information out quickly, many of our stakeholders "see and forget" these messages. Please help spread the word to follow AJHS on Facebook and Instagram. I also think that many people would rather see or watch than read. FB allows us to post short video message, tutorials and announcements. Thanks!
