Superintendent Rob Gress has created a group for ACS staff members who are interested in becoming administrators in the future. The group, called the Alliance Aviator Aspiring Administrators Academy (5A for short), will spend the next year meeting about once a month and exploring the various facets of administration.
Participants will have the opportunity to shadow building and district administrators, participate in leadership meetings, work through real-world administrative situations and learn about different areas of district operations.
What a great opportunity to build future administrators from within our own district! ✈ #RepthatA

Alliance City Schools has officially joined Kindland's initiative of completing 250 acts of kindness this school year!
Kindness can be simple: invite someone to play with you or sit with you, help a classmate, give someone a compliment, tell someone thank you for helping you, or offer an encouraging word. Small actions help people feel welcome, happy, valued and connected and can inspire others to be kind, too.
Throughout the year, students and staff will report their acts of kindness, and we will track them as a district until we reach our goal of 250!
Parents are able to report acts of kindness through Kindland's reporting form at https://www.usofkindness.org/share-an-act-of-kindness.
We are excited to see all the amazing acts of kindness our Aviators complete this year! Follow along as we help to spread kindness throughout our schools and community!

Tracy Bowser's kindergarten class had some science fun when they planted grass and bean seeds! 🌱 The students watered and measured their plants each week and even created a house to put behind the plants. They enjoyed watching the plants grow over time and comparing the two different kinds using descriptive words! Our budding botanists had so much fun with this project! 🪴 #RepthatA
The first-year woodshop students in Josh Davis' class have been hard at work creating and carving pumpkins from cedar fence pickets! 🎃 They did an amazing job! We love being able to offer electives like woodshop to our students at Alliance High School! 🪵 #RepthatA

Fat Bear Week is an annual celebration that highlights the brown bears of Katmai National Park in Alaska as they prepare for winter hibernation. Kaley Sloane’s class at Alliance Elementary School followed along, learning about brown bears, their habitat, what they eat, and why getting “fat” is so important for hibernation! Each day, students followed the Fat Bear Week bracket and voted for their favorite bear. Their votes were tallied, and the class winner became the official vote they entered for that day! They enjoyed bear-themed activities, snacks, and plenty of friendly competition as they cheered on their favorite bears! 🐻
What a great activity for our Aviators to be part of! #RepthatA

The Superintendent's Leadership Group held their first meeting of the year! This group is made up of students in grades 4-12 who have been identified as leaders in their schools! Once the students join the group, they remain until they graduate and serve as mentors to the new students who join each year.
The meeting was a fun one! Students were split into groups and tasked with building a free-standing bridge strong enough to hold a phone for ten seconds. Each group was given the same instructions and materials to start. This activity required the students to communicate efficiently and effectively, be creative and think outside the box, and collaborate well with one another, all qualities of good leaders.
We look forward to more meetings with this fantastic group this year! #RepthatA

How did AHS prepare you for your career?
“At AHS, I had teachers who served as amazing role models and encouraged me to never stop learning. My classmates taught me to be open-minded and that everyone has unique strengths, passions and perspectives to offer. Feeling safe, welcome and supported at AHS inspired me to work towards bringing that same positivity to other schools and communities.”
Favorite Memory from High School:
“I love thinking back on our Senior All-Nighter. It was so much fun and the perfect way to squeeze in some more memories with all the friends we made over the years before graduation.”
Advice for Current AHS Students:
“Two things: First, don't feel bad if you don't have everything figured out. The reality is that no one does. Enjoy the journey, learn as you go and appreciate your own unique path in life. Second, embrace the things that bring you joy and fulfillment. The best work comes from those who genuinely love what they do. Always make time for your passions, hobbies, creative outlets and whatever else brings you happiness.”
Influential Staff Member:
“Mr. Shively sparked a love of learning, particularly in history and culture, that I still hold on to today. His teaching style influenced the way I go about problem-solving and finding answers in academic settings as well as in life. More importantly, he showed me how to be open-minded and receptive to diverse beliefs and perspectives.”
An Accomplishment You Are Most Proud Of:
“I am proud of my daily work on Goodyear's Community Engagement team, where I am empowering our associates to give back to the communities where we live and work. Making a positive impact is incredibly motivating, and I'm proud to be part of that process.”
