Exciting things are taking flight at ASD! ✈️

Today, AHS student A. Lopez successfully conducted a preflight inspection and had the incredible opportunity to fly one of our aircraft as part of the ASD Honors Aviation II class. This hands-on experience is a powerful example of how we are preparing our students for high-demand, real-world careers.

We are proud to provide opportunities that inspire, challenge, and elevate our students to new heights. Be sure to check out the photos from today’s flight!

This week, we proudly celebrate Assistant Principal Week and the incredible leaders who help keep our schools running strong every single day.

Assistant principals wear many hats: mentor, problem-solver, encourager, and steady support for both students and staff. Their leadership may not always be in the spotlight, but their impact is felt in every hallway, classroom, and success story.

Thank you for your dedication, your heart for students, and your commitment to excellence. Our schools are better because of you!

Raising the Bar: Understanding Mississippi’s Higher Accountability Standards

Mississippi has raised the bar for school and district academic performance. Starting with the 2025-26 school year, schools and districts must meet higher standards to earn each A-F letter grade. The Mississippi Department of Education has developed resources to help district leaders, families, community members, and media understand what has changed and why, and what to look for when school and district grades are released in fall 2026.
