On March 28, the Ahlahasa staff conducted a survey that students took in English classes. The survey was voluntary and students were informed that their answers were not anonymous and could be used in the newspaper. There were 382 responses and the data for the article was pulled directly from that survey. ALHS administration provided additional data on fights and suspensions. The purpose of this survey was to gather insights into various aspects of the school’s culture, including but not limited to traditions, values, experiences and perspectives. The feedback provided a comprehensive picture of what it means to be a part of the ALHS community.

Eighth-grader Lily Ber created a duck for class and said, “People make art seem easy because when most people show how they do their work, they already know how to do it. To you, it looks like it’s easy since they can do it. But, when you actually try, and you’re a beginner, it’s not as easy as you thought. It’s more complicated.”
