Have appreciated the springboard that ACHS gave me to attack life head on! Have remained in touch with a few Classmates and relish the memories. ACHS was more than just an education for me, as it was my first opportunity to spend more than a year and a half in the same School District. I found my teachers to be not only very capable in their respective disciplines, but to sincerely be interested in motivating and preparing me as a person to handle the challenges of life. My favorites were Dr. Mildred Meese and Bob Hettler, but they ALL added some flavor to the casserole that I would become. I was a bit "out of my league" at the time from a financial standpoint, but the inclusive atmosphere was more than a blessing and a great instructor in creating the motivational platform to excel.

ACHS was my "lifeline" to being accepted to the United States Air Force Academy on a Presidential Nomination from DD Eisenhower. It provided a solid foundational footing that has driven me ever since. A sincere Thank You!!
