Very good school in many possible ways.

Even though it was a long, long time ago, I still cherish my attendance at Alamo Heights High School. The academic, activities and athletic part of my high school was always aimed at success and I feel that it has helped me greatly in the many years of my life since I graduated. Having been to my last two class reunions even though I have had to fly from Utah to attend, I can tell that AHHS has continued to be a successful experience and I am so glad to learn that things are still going well at the school I loved when I attended there.
