A Message from Principal Bare
Dear AHS Families,
I am so looking forward to senior projects next week. It is such a celebration of the hard work that our students have done over the past four years. I love nothing more than listening to them describe their educational journey, and then learning about all of the amazing things they did for their senior projects. The projects students have done this year are truly remarkable, and I can’t wait to celebrate with them. Students have done a huge variety of things including building homes in other countries, leading youth camps, getting involved in social action campaigns, and everything in-between. I am so proud of the class of the class of 2019, and look forward to the these final few weeks as they complete those last requirements.
Kind Regards,
Erika
Senior Projects Presentations-- May 1 Early Release for 9th and 10th Grade
Spring Presentations will be held on Wednesday, May 1st.
Senior Projects are an important opportunity for AHS Seniors to explore subjects and interests in ways that challenge them and encourage them to go above and beyond anything they have done before. Senior Projects also teach students the importance of giving back to their community and sharing their knowledge and experiences with a wider audience. These projects are shared in a formal presentation setting where students have a chance to discuss not only what they accomplished but also their journey over the last four years of high school.
Full handbook is available on the AHS website: http://www.ashland.k12.or.us/Page.asp?NavID=2205

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!
