ASTEC has a new and improved website!
|
|
|
ASTEC is proud to announce the launch of our brand new website! The web address hasn't changed (www.asteccharterschools.com) and the new site contains all the important information prospective students and their parents need to make the decision to become a Comet.
The site also contains current information about our clubs and activities, videos of our leadership staff and students, updated portraits of our faculty and staff members, links to our newsletters and much more.
Designed by Communications Director Heather Warlick using the WIX CMS platform, the new site is intended to be an eye-catching and easily-navigable core of ASTEC's online presence.
"Without an attractive, functional website, social media outreach can fall flat," Warlick said. "Our new site will be dynamic, changing constantly and highlighting all the amazing a
ctivities and accomplishments of our Comets and the ASTEC Foundation."

York College for soccer scholarship
|
|
Huge congratulations are in order for ASTEC senior Jarvis De Leon, The Comets’ star soccer player who was recruited by the head coach of the York College team.
March 27 was the big signing day for De Leon.
“This is a dream come true and could not be possible without my family, friends, coaches and teammates,” De Leon said. “I truly appreciate everyone who has supported, motivated and pushed me to be the person I am today. I could not have done it without you. Thank you and I love you all! Next stop, York, Nebraska.”
"This signing ceremony for Jarvis De Leon could not go to a better student-athlete. Jarvis is the best example of what ASTEC Athletics is about,” said Jacob Miller, athletic director at ASTEC Charter Schools. “Jarvis is a high character young man, who leads by example on and off the field. I wish Jarvis nothing but success in his future endeavors.”

Yearbook Angels still needed

ASTEC's amazing donors and supporters have come through with flying colors so far in our goal of providing every senior with a yearbook. So far, a little more than half of our seniors will have a free yearbook to remember their years at ASTEC.
But, the ASTEC Yearbook class is still seeking Yearbook Angels to help provide a yearbook for each and every ASTEC high school senior.
Yearbooks are $50 each and you can sponsor a book for an individual senior of your choice, or for any senior.
