American Fork High School
Principal's Message

The first week of school has been wonderful. We have loved seeing our students back in the halls of learning here at American Fork High School. We are all working together for lifelong success for our most prized treasures…our children.

Sincerely,
Daniel P. Weishar

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS
Academic
AFHS had 565 AP Exams passed with a score of 3 or higher last Spring! We have many amazing students and look forward to many more amazing accomplishments this year!
Celebrating Scholarships!
Sterling Scholar is a competitive program that rewards students who excel in academics, service in the community, and leadership. Sophomores and Juniors begin preparing for this remarkable opportunity by working hard and performing well in your classes. Look for ways to serve in your community, and seek out ways to lead people in positive ways. Keep a record of your experiences and apply when you are a senior. Seniors look forward to the opportunity to highlight your abilities this year. Sterling Scholar Applications will be available at the end of September and will be due October 31 at 2:30 pm in the counseling office.
Advisors for Sterling Scholar are Christine Hoopes (room 125) and Kiersten Holt (room 110).

Girls Tennis:  The Tennis Team has been winning most of its matches, offering strong competition for the other teams in Region IV.

HERZLICH WILLKOMMEN!
Herzlich Willkommen!
Our German program at AFHS has a partner school in the northern part of Germany. Three teachers from this school bring around 20 students every other year to America for a 2 week stay at AFHS and then another 2 weeks to tour the USA through Arizona, Nevada and California. It is part of their regular school year.The visit is scheduled for 14. September – 28. September 2017.
Their school is named Roswitha-Gymnasium Bad Gandersheim. Bad Gandersheim is about an hour south of Hannover in the state of Lower-Saxony. Bad is pronounced "bawt" and means springs or bath. Thanks to the Caveman host families who are helping these students have a great American and American Fork experience.
