Why Do They Do That?
The included information on brain development provides some needed reassurance as we try and understand why our teenagers make some of the choices they do! It also gives us important information as we discuss with our teens the impact on things they put in their body can have on brain development during this incredibly impactful time.
The Grizzly Invitational- Speech & Debate
The Grizzly Invitational is our biggest Speech and Debate event of the year. AHS is hosting over 200 students from 20 schools. Events start Friday at 4:15 pm and continue on Saturday and Sunday.

Senior Class of 2019
Graduation May 31, 2019
Senior Projects Presentations
Early Bird Senior Project presentations will be held on Wednesday, January 9th.
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. PLEASE NOTE THAT WINTER PRESENTATIONS ARE ON THE FIRST WEDNESDAY AFTER BREAK.
Full handbook is available on the AHS website: http://www.ashland.k12.or.us/Page.asp?NavID=2205
