“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” As the winter season approaches, AHS clubs begin to prepare for AHS’ annual Deck the Halls. Deck the Halls will be taking place on Friday, December 11th. Club organizations and classes who are willing to participate in Deck the Halls are assigned a hallway. When the club organizations and classes are assigned a hallway, their sponsors and members help decorate the hallway in hopes of winning the competition for best decorated hallway. As Deck the Halls takes place right before students go on winter break, the hallways are usually decorated in a fun winter theme. The club or class that wins the competition receives a reward towards their club or class.

Deck the Halls is not just about a competition. The club members and classes come together and work on a fun activity right before everyone takes off for winter break. The clubs use this opportunity to promote themselves and attract new people so they can join their club as well. Students of AHS go to Deck the Halls just to show support and spread the holiday feeling throughout the school.

Classes come together as one and work on making their hallway look festive and decorative. In result, students arrive to school the next day seeing the hallways looking very festive and they get the taste of the holiday feeling. Decorating the hallways as a class creates a great environment for everyone to come together and just have a great time.

“I’m excited and we have a great idea. I just can’t wait to get started on it,” says Junior and Class of 2017 officer Matthew Vogus.

In this years Deck the Halls, clubs that will be participating will be FCCLA, Hispanic Leadership, Golf

Along with clubs that will be participating, classes that will be participating will be 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016.

“I’m very excited about Deck the Halls. The Class of 2017 has a fabulous idea and we are full of school spirit and we have a lot of pride,” said Norm Ash, Class of 2017 sponsor. Ms. Ash and Class of 2017 are preparing well for this years Deck the Halls and are very excited about it.
