The Eagles Perch - Issue #18 - July 16, 2025

End of Year Reflections

As another school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on all that has passed and all that lies ahead.

Graduation is always such a pivotal moment for our Eagles. It’s a time of celebration and pride, but also a little bittersweet. We’ve formed strong bonds with so many of our students, and while we’re incredibly proud of all they’ve achieved, we’ll deeply miss their presence in our halls. 

This September, AHS will experience even more change than usual. As our Grade 12s move on to new beginnings and our newest Grade 9s join us, the Main Office will also be entering a new chapter.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Cunningham, whose strong leadership and fun-loving spirit left a lasting mark on our school. We wish her all the best in her new role and know she’ll continue to inspire wherever she goes.

We’re also sending our warmest wishes to Ms. Piques as she enters a well-deserved retirement. Her dedication, wisdom, and kindness as Vice Principal will be missed more than words can say.

A big thank you goes out to Ms. Rowland (Budget Secretary), Ms. Altieri (Guidance Secretary), and Ms. McCourt (Library Technician) for all their behind-the-scenes magic, their care for our students, and the joy they brought to the building. As they head off to new adventures at different schools, we hope they carry with them the love and appreciation of their AHS family. 

Saying "see you later" is never easy, but the time we've spent together has been meaningful and filled with love. For everyone leaving — staff and students alike — please remember: Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.

To those returning and to all the new faces joining us in the fall, we’re excited for what the future holds. The office will look a little different, but our commitment to this incredible school community remains the same. We hope everyone is having a safe and happy summer so far! A quick reminder: the Main Office is open Monday to Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the summer months. If you plan to stop by, please refer to our community calendar or call ahead, just in case of an unforeseen closure.

Wishing you all a joyful, laughter-filled, and rejuvenating remainder of the summer.
