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.

Many club members attended the event on Monday, April 12 to celebrate the clubs tile joining the wall. I think its a huge honor for our club, said Chalmers.

It shows us that our efforts have had an impact on the students and the school, and thats what our goal has been all along.
