First Two Weeks

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 09/13/2016 - 10:48

   The first two weeks of school here at the Advanced Learning Center went off without a hitch. The students seemed to transition into the pace of learning here at the ALC without any difficulty.

    As a faculty, it is fun to watch, as 5 different high schools mesh together to create an atmosphere of friends learning and growing in their education together. It is a unique experience to witness these students grow into life-long friends and even attend each other's school functions, whether they are sporting games, choir concerts or even each other's graduation.  

    This is one of the many perks of attending the Advanced Learning Center. Not only are you able to enhance your education by attending here, you enhance your social life as well.

ALC Hosts Interactive Open House

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 09/13/2016 - 09:33

The ALC held an interactive open house on Aug. 30 & Sept. 6th from 3-7 pm.  Parents and students were able to come and get registration and scheduling help for any students taking concurrent enrollment classes through either, UVU or Weber State University.  We cannot thank enough, the two ladies who spear-headed this open house to make it the success it was.  Huge shout out and thanks to Annette Pukahi, Counselor and Miranda Hjorth, Secretary/Registrar.

These lovely women spent countless hours getting students registered and enrolled into the classes.

Thank you for making sure the students here at the Advanced Learning Center have every chance available to further their education.  

 You are both amazing and we are blessed your on our team!

New Face at ALC

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 09/13/2016 - 09:04

    The start of a new school year can be a bit scary, especially if you are starting a new school. As the students walked into the Advanced Learning Center on the first day of classes, they were greeted with a smiling face. It was also this person's first day at a new school.  This smiling face was our new Principal here at the Advanced Learning Center; Principal Wade Tischner.

He personally greeted each and every student as they walked through the doors on the first day of school, making each one feel welcome and happy to be here. 

Here are a few fun facts and information to help you get to know  Pricncipal Tischner a little better.
