A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES

  Academy High School Principal’s Message 2009-2010

Academy High School is the Hays C.I.S.D. alternative school of choice campus.  Since the opening of the campus in the fall of 2000, Academy High School has served students who were seeking a non-traditional educational setting.  AHS is located south of Hays High School, at 4820 Jack C. Hays Trails. 

The primary focus of the AHS is to expedite grade level progress and high school completion.  AHS curriculum offers both self-paced computerized curriculum and teacher instruction.  The courses offered in a traditional format are designed to increase student’s knowledge of curriculum.  There are also self-paced off-line courses offered to students that may be used for accelerated graduation or credit recovery.  In both the traditional and self-paced courses curriculum is aligned with the TEKS and TAKS required objectives.

AHS offers the Phoenix and Night School Programs offered Monday through Friday.  These are courses offered on the A+ self-paced computerized curriculum. The Phoenix Program is offered to any district fifth year senior who needs to complete credits required for graduation.  TAKS tutoring is also offered through the Phoenix Program.  This program is offered during regular school hours (9:00-3:45) and continues through Night School hours.  Night School is offered to all district students who with their campus approval may attend for credit recovery or acceleration.  Certified teachers are available for individual assistance in both programs.  Night School is offered Monday and Thursday 4:15-9:00 PM and Tuesday-Wednesday-Friday 4:15-7:00 PM.

All Hays CISD high school students are welcomed to apply to Academy High School who has earned six or more credits.  Students must go through an application process and interview to enter AHS.  Applications are available in the Hays and Lehman High School counseling offices and at the Academy High School office or online at our website. 

We welcome inquires from any student who may want to consider an alternative to the comprehensive high school setting.  Academy High School has a nurturing, dedicated staff of professionals eager to work with students.
