Today, we recognized two amazing Aviator teachers who have shown dedication, care and support for all of their students! ✈
❤️ Sarah Lantz is the 2026 ACS Teacher of the Year! Ms. Lantz is a 6th grade science teacher at Alliance Middle School. When asked why she was deserving of the award, her students responded with things like, "She's kind," "She makes class fun," and "She cares about us." She is making a positive impact on their lives each and every day!
🩵 Baeli Kimble is the 2026 ACS Rookie Teacher of the Year! Mrs. Kimble is a first-year 1st grade teacher at Alliance Early Learning School. When her students were asked why she was deserving of this recognition, they responded with, "She's sweet," "She's fun," and "She's pretty." Even in her first year as a teacher, Mrs. Kimble is already inspiring some of our youngest students!
Please join us in congratulating these two very deserving Aviators! 👏👏 #RepthatA

Project Prom offers AHS juniors and seniors the chance to find a dress or suit for prom, along with shoes and accessories. All items are donated and completely free for any student who finds something they love. Each dress and suit is tailored by a volunteer seamstress, Gloria Kovacik, to ensure a perfect fit for prom. 🧶
The event is organized each year by AHS staff members Heidi Hoffmeyer and Teresa McMillen. We are so grateful to our staff for providing this opportunity to AHS students! They are truly making a difference and helping create memories that will last a lifetime. 😊 The smiles on the students' faces say it all! #RepthatA




Position: Kindergarten Teacher
School: Alliance Early Learning School
Graduation Year: 2005
Years at ACS: 13
Favorite Memory:
"The friendships I formed while attending ACS have lasted a lifetime. I’m still friends with many of the students I started kindergarten with at Parkway Elementary, and we recently celebrated our 20th high school reunion!"
Influential Staff Member:
"One staff member who positively influenced me at ACS was my dad. He showed me the importance of dedication, patience, and supporting students both inside and outside the classroom. Seeing his example inspired me to give back to the community and make a meaningful impact on students’ lives, just as he did. Having him be the dean of students and the football coach was one of the highlights of my high school career!"
Choosing to work for ACS:
"I chose to come back to work for ACS because this community played a vital role in shaping who I am. The teachers, staff, and experiences I had here gave me opportunities that made a lasting difference in my life. My parents both taught in ACS their whole careers, and I wanted to continue their legacy by giving back to the students and community that I grew up in."
Importance of giving back:
"I believe it’s important to serve the school and community I was raised in because it has given me the foundation for who I am today. Growing up here has allowed me to understand its strengths and challenges, which makes me better equipped to give back in meaningful ways."
We’re proud to have Mrs. Morgan carrying on a legacy of excellence at ACS! 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

Using their own tasty manipulatives, students solved the given equations and were then challenged to turn each subtraction problem into an addition equation. After all their hard work, students were rewarded by getting to eat their groups of ten. How fun! #RepthatA
