    We want to remind you of some community resources: 

    For non-life threatening mental health support: Contra Costa Crisis Center:  call 211 or text HOPE to 20121 available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for mental health needs.  www.211cc.org   can help you reach other community resources. 

    In the event of a mental health emergency, please contact 911.  

    As a reminder, here are the counselor assignments and emails.  Counselors prefer using the auhsdschools.org email but School Loop messages are also fine.

  • Co-Presidents’ Message

    March 11, 2020

    It’s been a busy time on campus. Spring sports are in full bloom, and last week’s spring musical Urinetown received rave audience reviews with vast numbers of students showing up to support and cheer for their peers. Bravo! 

    Just a reminder that this week is a short week as Friday, March 13, is a Staff Development Day.  Thanks to your donations, APC provides $35,000 of funding each school year for staff development for teachers and staff like Friday’s development day. We look forward to sharing more regularly in our APC in Action section how this funding supports development of our AHS teachers and staff.

    Course request confirmation letters were recently mailed to all students for the 2020-2021 school year.  Please review course selections with your student for accuracy.
