For the first time since the school opened in 1957, AH has the largest students population in its history with approximately 2,100 students. When AH was built, the school was initially intended for only 1,500 students. With the abundance of students over the years, brunch and lunchtime hangouts are very crowded throughout the campus. One of the aspects of AH that makes it unique is the diversity among the students and teachers. African-American, Asian, and Hispanic students make up over 80 percent of the school population.
Teachers provide a multitude of opinions and theories to students.
I enjoy the unique experience of having a liberal English teacher for third period and then having a conservative US Government teacher the following period. Another think I look forward to this year is more school spirit by the students. Just the other day I heard the students talking about the upcoming 'Blast to the Past' rally and dance, while in a rush to purchase their ASB cards and yearbooks. This year looks very interesting and we've only been in school for about a month. Only time will answer these questions.
