February 15th was Student Resource Officer Appreciation Day! While we missed celebrating our SRO, Officer Bates, this Saturday, we made the time to celebrate him this week instead! Here he is posing with our poster made by AHS Leadership. Our School Resource Officers serve as an important bridge between youth, law enforcement, and the communities they serve.
