We at the ALC would like to take this moment to say , "Our Hats go off, to the amazing person at our school who wears so many different hats each day." THANK YOU to our amazing secretary, Miranda Hjorth.

When you walk into our school, Miranda is the first person you see. She is NEVER without a smile on her face, and is always willing to help whoever needs it. The teachers, parents, and students all love her and consider her a friend. 

She truly is the backbone of our school and we wouldn't be the school that we are without her. 

Thank you, Miranda for ALL you do! 

We here at the ALC, love you and appreciate the MANY things you constantly do, above and beyond your duties as secretary of the ALC. 

Last Friday was the ALC principal, Wade Tischner's last day at the ALC.   Mr. Tischner is leaving for basic training and then after training, will be deployed to the Middle East.

We have thoroughly enjoyed having him this past year, as our principal. His leadership skills, his positive attitude,  and his genuine concern for the welfare of the ALC will certainly be missed. 

Thank you ,Wade, for touching all of our lives here at the ALC, and thank you for being willing to leave family, friends, and the comforts of home to go protect our freedoms that are enjoyed here in the US of A. We appreciate you and all of those many service men, who sacrifice in our behalf everyday. 

Students in the Engineering Design & Development course (engineering capstone) participated on Friday, April 14, at the K12 Student Innovator of the Year competition hosted by Brigham Young University.

Students presented ideas that were useful products, systems or services to a panel of judges.

Connor Widtfeldt's goal for this project was to , "create technology that's indistinguishable from magic to inspire people to find uses of technology they didn't think possible."
