Adairsville High School

Friday FunDay!

Dual Enrollment Night:
December 2, 2026
AHS Auditorium

Students in Lit Comp II with Ms. Spence and Ms. Schroeder recently completed a Project-Based Learning (PBL) task to conclude their study of Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night. The goal of the project was to analyze the memoir to examine its warnings about dehumanization, indifference, and the consequences of hatred. Using textual evidence, literary analysis, and visual symbolism, students developed a creative multimodal product to communicate the central theme or message from the memoir to a modern audience. Students chose their mode of communication and included an artist’s statement explaining their literary interpretation and the significance of their design choices. These were presented to the class this week.

This work supports our school STEAM initiative and goals as well as the BCSS district priorities, building on strong professional learning to provide quality Tier 1 instruction. Engaging students in the PBL process and encouraging inquiry and creativity also help support improved classroom experiences and, therefore, student attendance.

Congratulations to our AP Scholarship recipients! We are proud of your achievement. To accept your scholarship, please see Dr. Ratcliff.

Friday Night Reminder: Friday is SENIOR NIGHT at Tiger Stadium! For the safety of our students, all elementary and middle school students must be accompanied by an adult.

We are so proud of a few of our AHS Construction students who took a bold step and entered some of their woodworking projects in the Georgia National Fair.
Their courage paid off with a recognition of their talent and skill as they came home with First, Second, and Third prizes.
Their work will be on display in the AHS Lobby until Friday.

Congratulations to our JROTC RAIDERS!

Geometry students recently took on the challenge of constructing formal 2-column proofs to prove that two triangles are congruent. This lesson strengthened students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills while deepening their understanding of geometric relationships. What made this experience especially unique was the integration of real-world career skills. Students created a one-page "Geometry Resume" that summarized their knowledge of triangle congruence proofs and geometric concepts, serving as a reference tool during their interview. They then participated in a mock interview where they were asked to construct and explain a proof while responding to clarifying and challenging questions from the interviewer, their Geometry teacher.

The interview was intentionally designed to mirror a professional job interview experience. Students practiced important life skills such as preparing a resume, dressing professionally, communicating their thinking clearly, making eye contact, introducing themselves, and responding confidently to questions. By combining rigorous mathematics with authentic workplace expectations, this lesson gave students an opportunity to strengthen both their academic knowledge and the employability skills that will benefit them long after they leave the classroom.

Geometry team members: Brock Arp, Clay Heath, Dr. Andrew Smith, and Laura Turner

This work aligns with our district priorities by enhancing high-quality Tier 1 instruction, investing in ongoing professional learning, and creating engaging classroom experiences that support improved student attendance and achievement.
