Helping Hands Volunteering
The Helping Hands Community Service Group at AHS is a great example of a group of staff and students volunteering their time and energy to help others thorough activities and services.
Students and staff members can volunteer at the Lunch Box Soup Kitchen in Poughkeepsie. Students help set up, serve, and clean up lunches served to those in need. In addition, students will help with other helpful tasks such as unloading and stocking food, or sorting clothing donations.
Other Community services include:
- Knitting for Charity
- Literacy Buddies Pen Pals
- Pen pals with Seniors

The Student of the Month award is an honor to receive!
This Award is sponsored by the Poughkeepsie Rotary Club.
Recognition in the form of a Certificate from the Rotary Club, a $25 savings account from TEG Credit Union, a luncheon a Christo's, and a place in the main lobby award cases are all benefits of this achievement. The luncheon at Christo's is a huge buffet and the student is honored by everyone and pictures are taken for possible news releases.
To achieve "Student of the Month" one must be nominated and approved by all teachers, plus have excellent attendance and no discipline problems. The recognition is based on performing an exemplary behavior and attitude in and out of the classroom.
