Atchison High School had two groups of students travel to Wichita on Friday to present at the Kansas Associations of School Board Conference. Our Atchison High School students showcased two innovative programs and initiatives happening at AHS. The first group of students: Dakota Kessler, Isabel Arroy, Alaney Schuele, Morgan Sumpter, and Trenton Woessner presented all about Unified Champions and Project Success. The second group of students: Laynie Tate, Joshua Haupt, Landon Myer, Leyla Crittendon presented about our innovative English/Language Arts Courses at AHS. Both groups have wonderful teachers and leaders who went along with them to Wichita to chaperone: Brian Keegan, Sara King, and Katelyn Buschbacher. We are extremely proud of them all and the continued greatness at Atchison High School! Pictures are below.
