Wellness Center
The AHS Wellness team would like to welcome everyone to a new school year! With this new year there have been some changes to the Wellness Center including a new coordinator, Patrick Turner, and new Wellness Center hours.
While new to AHS, Patrick/Mr.Turner is not new to the district. He’s been dedicated to supporting the success of students in the district for 5 years as a school counselor at Campolindo. Patrick is a great addition to our team and looks forward to continuing to provide support for students in his new role.
Last year, usage of the Wellness Center was extremely successful, which means we were also extremely busy. In hopes of better serving our students, new Wellness Center hours are listed here. By modifying our hours, we are able to collaborate more and increase our programming and planning, which allows us to be proactive in reaching more AHS students.
As always, if you know of any AHS students that may need additional mental health support here on campus, please submit a referral to the Wellness Center using this link.
The success of Wellness Centers in our would not be possible without the continued support of parents, families and community partners. Thanks for all that you do in prioritizing mental health for our students!

LPIE
LPIE is looking forward to seeing the members of our wonderful community at the Lafayette Art, Wine & Music Festival on Sept 17 and 18. A reminder that LPIE is the largest beneficiary of this event, receiving over $10,000, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support of Lafayette Chamber of Commerce. We still have a few open slots to volunteer at the event, and we welcome you to take a shift and enjoy the festival!
