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 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."
