We were blessed to begin our 45th school year on August 10 with our Opening Service and the installation of four new teachers. View photos.
God has blessed ALA with a big increase in enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year. We closed last school year with 206 enrolled, and we opened with 236 students. Praise the Lord!
As a result, several steps have been taken:
- We added three positions to our staff to accommodate teaching sections.
- We made some modest changes to rooms, offices, and teaching spaces to accommodate additional staff.
- We converted a garage on the south side of the campus into a classroom (Room 30). One of the new teachers, Mrs. Jamie Johnson, is teaching Algebra I and Spanish 3 in that room. This will provide us additional space at a comparatively inexpensive price, as we look toward building expansion.
- The Board of Directors has authorized a Capital Campaign program to begin the fundraising process as we look to expand our facilities to the north.
- The Board of Directors has also seated a Building Committee to begin the formal process of planning and executing the new building, which will include classroom space and expanded athletic facilities.
We are entering an exciting and action-packed year! We will look to our Lord for his guidance and direction as we deal with the present and plan for the future.
