As another school year comes to a close, I simply want to say thank you.
Thank you for your support, encouragement, patience, and trust throughout this year. Together, we celebrated victories, worked through challenges, supported students through difficult moments, and continued striving to help every child grow academically, socially, emotionally, and personally.
Middle and high school years are important years. Students are growing, changing, learning, succeeding, struggling, and discovering who they are becoming. Through it all, we are thankful for the opportunity to partner with you in that journey.
As summer begins, I encourage our students to rest, recharge, spend time with family, enjoy being kids, and continue growing into kind, respectful, hardworking young people.
Remember — success in life is not just about grades, awards, or accomplishments. It is also about character, relationships, work ethic, kindness, and how we treat others along the way.
“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9
We are excited about the future of AC and thankful for the opportunity to continue building something special together.
Have a safe, restful, and blessed summer.
WE ARE ONE AC!
I realize there are emotions and stresses that naturally come with any change — especially when it concerns your child. Please know we are working hard to make this transition as smooth, organized, and positive as possible, while also ensuring that student safety remains a top priority.
We still have a few tweaks to make, staff positions to fill, procedures to align, and details to finalize. Truthfully, these are things schools work through at the end of every year as we prepare for the next one.
Our goal is always the same: to continue improving and creating a school environment where every year, every month, every day, and every moment becomes a growing opportunity for students academically, socially, emotionally, and personally.
We appreciate your patience, support, and trust as we move forward, striving to maintain the spirit, pride, and tradition of “WE ARE AC!”
ACMS Parents! We’re proud of our students and staff for their effort and growth! As we finish the year, please challenge your child to stay focused, give their best effort, and take pride in their work. We are setting the tone daily to help students finish strong. Thank you for your continued support! 💜💛

Each morning, we intentionally create a positive and encouraging environment for both students and staff. Our students lead the way with announcements, we celebrate birthdays, stand together for the Pledge of Allegiance, and reinforce our Vision Statement daily.
It’s more than just a routine — it’s about building confidence, connection, and a culture where everyone feels valued and ready to succeed.
We love getting our students and staff excited for the day — because when you start strong, you finish strong.
WE ARE ACMS!
ACMS Parents: As we head into Easter Break, we wish you a time of rest, renewal, and hope. When we return, we will need our students' best effort, strong focus, and positive attitudes as we continue working together to finish the year strong.
May this break remind us of the hope, renewal, and purpose of the Cross, and how we can carry that into all that we do each day. We look forward to seeing our students back, refreshed and ready, on Tuesday, April 7th!
“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” — Matthew 28:6
WE ARE ACMS! 💜💛

So glad to see the former Glen School building being used for such a meaningful purpose as the Home of El Roi. If you’re able, please consider supporting them at Scooters Coffee on Tuesday, March 31st!
ACMS! We have 18 school days until state testing begins for the 2025–2026 school year. What a whirlwind this year has been! Despite weather, interruptions, and challenges beyond our control, our students and staff have continued to persevere.
We have made great progress at ACMS, and we do not want to take a step back. This year also brings a higher level of expectations in how the state measures student and school performance. While we know our students are more than a test score, we also believe in doing our very best with every opportunity we are given.
Our teachers will continue working hard to prepare students so they can walk into testing with confidence and show what they know. You can support this effort by encouraging your child to:
-Be at school on time every day and stay all day
-Stay focused and engaged
-Give their best effort every day
Together, we can help our students finish strong and shine when it matters most.
WE ARE ACMS!
We want you to know that our students have been awesome since returning from Spring Break. It’s been an unusual stretch since Christmas, with weather events and technology issues—all of which were out of our control—but our students and teachers have continued to rise above.
I am proud to serve as principal of a school where students, teachers and parents work together during challenging times and push through difficulties together.
Thank you for your continued support of ACMS.
WE ARE ACMS!
Check out some of awesome 8th graders talking about the March character trait of courage! Our kids are awesome!
