Dear Parents and Students,
Congratulations to all students and families for a remarkable, resilient, rewarding and successful 2021-22 school year. We ended the year together with our first in-person graduation since 2019. Together we did it! We hope you are looking forward to a summer of relaxing and recharging - you deserve it! We wish all students and families departing AISC HS the very best! Stay in touch.
We will see all returning students for the first day of school on August 2nd, and together we look forward to a great 2022-23.
