✈ Shaun Fontaine ✈
Position: Alliance High School Principal
Graduation Year: 1997
Years at ACS: 22
Mr. Fontaine has many favorite memories from attending school at ACS- far too many to count in fact:
"I enjoyed so much of my school experience. From Liberty Elementary School, to State Street Middle School, to AHS, I have so many great memories."
He had two teachers who stuck out to him during his time at ACS:
"Jim Ballor inspired my curiosity and was a great example of a lifelong learner. Sally Ailes taught me to value and contribute to my community."
Mr. Fontaine decided to return to the district as a staff member because he was ready to come home and the position opened up at the right time.
Why is it important to give back?
"ACS and the Alliance community invested 13 years in me when I was in school. For that investment, I owe the school district and the community and I want to invest in others."
Now, as principal, Mr. Fontaine is proud to lead Alliance High School and continue the tradition of Aviator Alum inspiring future generations! 🩵❤️

President Greg King and a few other representatives from the University of Mount Union stopped by Alliance High School yesterday to officially award the top 15 students in the Class of 2026 with the Investment Alliance Scholarship! The program offers students a four-year, full-tuition scholarship following graduation from AHS.
Each student will have a personalized visit to Mount Union scheduled this fall where they will meet students and professors in their intended major and visit clubs and even athletic programs they are interested in joining.
Last year a record number of recipients accepted the scholarship with 11 of the 15 beginning their journey at Mount Union this fall!
Since its inception in 2014, Mount Union has awarded 195 students in 13 classes with the scholarship, and to date, 108 have taken advantage of the program. The students in the Class of 2026 who accept the scholarship will be announced in the spring at the annual Senior Scholarship & Career Commitment Night.
We are beyond grateful to have Mount Union as a dedicated partner! There is no other institution around that invests both their time and resources in their local high school. The impact this program has had over the years is astounding to say the least! 💜 #RepthatA
