Have you ever stopped to consider the high quality of teachers we have at AHS? If not, then take just a min- ute to do so. The faculty here has a good reputation of being ready to help us with any prob- lems, big or small. The academic standards demanded by the faculty at times have been called rough and unfair, but ask any AHS graduate and you'll find them thankful for the strong background that they received in high school. So be thankful for such a knowledgeable and car- ing staff. Faculty: Thanks for all the help that you've given us!!! — TN AHS Faculty: Fanning The Blaze For A Fligher Education 1 Mrs. Roe says.
