Since its dedication in 2004, the work to provide landscaping and safe areas for students has been ongoing. The Foundation created the beautification initiative to encourage service projects by our students and community. We have supported numerous Eagle Scout projects. The beautification plans include landscaping, paver bricks, and stadium painting on the outside of the facility and student recognition cases and walls on the inside of the building.

Students need a facility to learn and practice fitness and a place where showers and lockers are available for them. This facility is one that needs both facilities for boys and girls. Over 75% of our students participate in some extra curricular program, and the Raider Field House is needed to provide space and support for our students.

Having a Fine Arts truck would allow the hauling of equipment to be safer as well as more cost effective. We proudly want to advertise our school with the AHS Raiders truck so that everywhere we go people will recognize our outstanding fine arts program!

Donors are encouraged to fund an Interactive Whiteboard for their teacher of choice.
