Our first retiree is Cindy Nedinger! Cindy has been a Kindergarten teacher at AES for 17 years!! In retirement, Cindy plans to ride her bicycle and kayak, attend a few St. Louis Cardinal baseball games, and help her mother!

Dear Families and Seniors,
First, thank you for understanding the change in date for our graduation ceremony. We also want to take the time to inform you about the announcements ordered, where graduation will take place, and the number of tickets each student will receive for their families to attend graduation. Graduation change inserts will be sent to every student who purchased their announcements from Jostens. These inserts with the change in graduation date have an estimated arrival time the week of April 22nd.
Graduation will be inside the gym at Atchison High School, and each Senior will receive 10 tickets for their family. Graduation will also be streamed for anyone who wants to watch online at home. We want this to be a great graduation for all of the Class of 2024. Thank You and #WeAre409.
Tomorrow night, at 6:30 p.m., AHS is having an 8th-grade Parent Orientation in the AHS Commons. All incoming 9th graders are invited! 8th graders will be discussing enrollment of classes for next year and see all the great opportunities AHS has to offer! #WeAre409
