Seniors and Senior Parents:
Here is a rundown of reminders from our graduation meeting last week.
1. Caps and gowns are in. We prefer to hold on to them until rehearsal, but if they are needed for pictures, your student may sign them out through Mr. Lewis. Please make sure your Jostens balances are paid in full.
2. Flower orders are due VERY soon. We need a rough estimate of how many flowers you will need by next Wed, April 12. The school will pay for some flowers, but this can only be determined once we have this estimate. Please send these numbers to Mr. Lewis by email or have your student come see Mr. Lewis and give the estimate verbally. The final order will be placed the week after the 12th. Flowers will be orange roses.
3. Please make sure you have announcements going out on your own to friends and family.
4. NEW ANNOUNCEMENT that was not in the meeting: You will receive ten chairs on the field for graduation ceremonies. Anything above ten will be seated in the stands. Please discuss with family who will fill your ten allotted chairs on the field.
5. Be working on your senior boards that will be set up in the commons before graduation.
6. Graduation rehearsal will be on Thurs. May 4th. Senior breakfast will be at 9 am that morning, then rehearsal immediately following. Students will then be released until graduation night arrival time TBA later.
7. Graduation will be Friday, May 5th at 8 pm on the football field.
Please make sure you are taking care of the things that need answers from you, and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you.
If anyone has slow-pitch softball or baseball pictures, please send them to [email protected]. Also, if you have any other pictures the yearbook could use, please send them our way!

Monday, Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office deputies came to Alex to present the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office's program about the dangers of drunk driving and not wearing a seatbelt to AHS students. This was part of the SAFE (Seatbelts Are For Everyone) campaign that BETA club has supported this year. This interactive presentation definitely made an impact and we hope reminds our students to make smart decisions on the roads.
