Awesome things are happening here at AHS!
Alleghany High School Staff and Student Expo is September 13, 2019 and November 12, 2019!
AHS Staff, Students, Parents, and Community,
On September 13, 2019 and November 12, 2019 Alleghany High School held its first two EXPOs of the school year. These events are to allow education in a different way, and the goal of these events are to promote learning, promote fun, encourage school attendance, and combat chronic absenteeism. Based on students and staff feedback these events were a major success! In order for these events to be successful in the future we need the help of everyone. We are looking for students, staff, parents, and community to be instructors for sessions. The sessions should last about an hour with a maximum of 3 sessions. If you are interested in being an instructor/teacher of anything under sun please contact Alleghany High School Administration. The next EXPO is April 9, 2020, so you have lots of time to come up with ideas and plan for the next event. We want it to be bigger and better than the first two EXPOs of the school year!

Students in Mrs. Bowels' introductions to Sport Medicine Class put together and delivered TO GO Buckets to all the schools in the division. The TO GO Buckets are a safety measure for classrooms in the schools have to go on a lock down. The TO GO Buckets contain vital supplies that can be used in case of an emergency. Here are several Photos of the students creating and delivering the TO GO Buckets.
Alleghany High School Fall Extravaganza for the Community
The Alleghany High School Administration would like everyone to attend the 2019 Fall Extravaganza! Students, staff, parents, guardians, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, great grandparents, next door neighbors, and all other community members are invited and encouraged to be at the wonderful Alleghany High School Fall Extravaganza, November 12, 2019. This will be a great learning opportunity for everyone to see what our students and staff have been doing, as well as make connections for the future growth of the school and community.

“On behalf of the students, staff, and administration of Alleghany High School Please make it a point to be here for the educational experience, fun, and support of everyone! ” ~ AHS Principal Dwayne Ross. “I know you will appreciate the efforts put in by the students to prepare for this event. You will get the opportunity to see what the staff already knows about our students, they have a great deal of potential and no limit on the things they can accomplish for themselves and the community!”
The goal of Alleghany County Public Schools is for its students, staff, and community to be the guide for the world to follow. In order to be the guide, they must first explore, design, create, map, and build along the way.
“We will continue to work and learn by refining our successes and correcting our mistakes as we use project and problem based learning to benefit everyone. We hope to improve our learning outcomes, community involvement, and be better each day in the future. Your feedback is vital to this end,” said Ross.
If you have ideas and/or resources to contribute to our students growth please contact Alleghany High School at 863-1700 or email Dwayne Ross, principal at dross@alleghany.k12.va.us or Jackie Almarode, AHS New Tech coordinator at jalmarode@alleghany.k12.va.us

The TEACH students finished their successful internship at the Clifton Forge Library, and our students were given a celebration by the director and his staff. Invited guests were, Mr. Kotulka, Dr. Heath, Mary Jane Mutispaugh, Ms. Huff, and Ms. Birchfield. The students displayed their capabilities in categorizing, organizing, and shelving books, and they shared this knowledge by performing the tasks for their guests. The photos below are the students performing their task and enjoying the “fruits of their labors”.
