We spend much of next week celebrating our Seniors, during Senior Week. See the packed calendar here. If you see a senior, tell them congratulations!
Note on Revision Week
Next week, the High School has revision week, Tuesday, May 24 through Friday May 27. During revision week, classes with traditional final exams review semester learning. For classes with alternative final assessments, those papers, projects and demonstrations of learning are submitted/presented during revision week. Classes also take time to wrap up the year, celebrate and say farewell.
Repeat Announcement: Farewell Assembly FYI
Our Farewell Assembly will be held Tuesday, May 24th during Crew. This is the time that we acknowledge and celebrate all of our ‘leavers’- students and teachers who will be leaving AISC at the end of the school year. Although bittersweet, we do look forward to this important step in the transition process with the goal to end the year well.
Graduation 2022
We are happy to share that we will have our first in-person graduation in the FAC Theatre. Reserved tickets are available to graduates, their families, faculty and staff. A limited number of non-reserved tickets are available. Please drop by the HS office for non-reserved tickets.

Students with only an afternoon exam may enter in the last morning, and must check in with Ms. Sunita in the HS office. Students are expected to take all exams in-person.
