✈🏀 Aviators Giving Back! 🏀✈

Members of the Alliance High School basketball team volunteered with the Mayor’s Green Commission for a community cleanup this weekend! Despite the cold weather, they spent hours picking up debris and helping clear nearly 40 yards of trash from one of Alliance’s few remaining natural habitats.

The team brought strength, energy, and kindness to the event, as reported by a member of the Mayor's Green Commission. Their efforts made a lasting impact on our community and environment! 😊

Way to go, Aviators, for showing what it means to be caring citizens on and off the court! We are so proud of you! A special shout out to Coach Chet an Coach Korey for encouraging these young men to give back and teaching them the value of volunteering! ✈ #RepthatA

34 Alliance High School students collaborated with 37 students from the University of Mount Union in developing post-secondary transitions. Both groups of students met at AHS, got to know one another and collaborated on the project together. They met a couple more times in order to finish, and then the students had the opportunity to present their projects at Mount Union in front of faculty and staff.

This is the third year AHS teachers Jeff Graffice, Mikayla Parfejewiec, Mariah Shaffer and their students have worked with Mary Beth Henning Ph.D and her UMU students and it is always a pleasure to work with them and a great experience! #RepthatA

Eighteen AHS students from the 99th Squadron, Superintendent’s Leadership Group, and HOBY attendees had the opportunity to tour downtown Alliance with guide Dalton Rininger Kline!

They learned about the city’s rich history related to manufacturing and the railroad, the historic structures, and current economic development projects shaping Alliance’s future. The tour wrapped up at the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce, where they heard from Randy Ruszkowski, Director of the Alliance Health Department, and Rick Baxter, President of the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce and Alliance Area Development.

This was an incredible learning experience for our young leaders! They walked away inspired and ready to share what they learned with their peers! ✈ #RepthatA

✈ Tirzah (Mohr) Baker ✈
Position: Food Service Manager
School: Alliance High School
Graduation Year: 1986
Years at ACS: 15

Favorite Memory:
"My favorite memories involve football games, then hanging out with friends at Friendly's Ice Cream after the game."

Influential Staff Member:
"Mr. Morris - He was always positive. He would say there wasn't a problem you couldn't solve if you put forward your best effort and set your mind to it. That holds true in life and not just math equations. He was always willing to help you when you needed it."

Choosing to work for ACS:
"I had kids in the school system so I wanted to work a job that I could be off when they were off and also still be able to be there for them when they got on the bus and when they got home. It was such a great way for me to get back into the workforce. Coming back to the school my parents graduated from, my siblings and I graduated from, and my children graduated from, turned into one of my best life decisions. My mom also retired from ACS."

Importance of giving back:
"I have always been proud of our small town and our school system. I would like to give back to the community I was raised in by being a positive and caring influence on the students and staff I get to work with, and to continue to build a strong and caring community."

Ms. Baker continues to make a difference where it all began by giving back to the community that has always felt like home to her. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

The students in the Video Productions Career Tech program visited Ohio University, where they toured the campus and explored the Scripps College of Communication’s media production facilities. 🎥 Experiences like this give students a firsthand look at career paths in their field and show how their classroom learning connects to real-world opportunities. It’s just one of the many ways our Career Tech programs prepare Aviators for Life, College, and Careers! ✈️ #RepthatA

✈ Shaun Fontaine ✈
Position: Alliance High School Principal
Graduation Year: 1997
Years at ACS: 22
Mr. Fontaine has many favorite memories from attending school at ACS- far too many to count in fact:
"I enjoyed so much of my school experience. From Liberty Elementary School, to State Street Middle School, to AHS, I have so many great memories."
He had two teachers who stuck out to him during his time at ACS:
"Jim Ballor inspired my curiosity and was a great example of a lifelong learner. Sally Ailes taught me to value and contribute to my community."
Mr. Fontaine decided to return to the district as a staff member because he was ready to come home and the position opened up at the right time.
Why is it important to give back?
"ACS and the Alliance community invested 13 years in me when I was in school. For that investment, I owe the school district and the community and I want to invest in others."
Now, as principal, Mr. Fontaine is proud to lead Alliance High School and continue the tradition of Aviator Alum inspiring future generations! 🩵❤️
