Position: Principal's Secretary
School: Alliance High School
Graduation Year: 1982
Years at ACS: 22
Favorite Memory:
"I loved high school and had a lot of fun. I participated in lots of clubs and organizations and loved helping with and being in the school plays."
Influential Staff Member:
"Mrs. Brumbaugh was the IOE Steno teacher and I went into the program my senior year. She was a very kind lady and really helped us to be prepared not only with the necessary technical skills for work but more importantly the professional and people skills to be a good employee."
Choosing to work for ACS:
"Even though the position I work in is a year-round one, I like the rhythm of the school year, the slower pace in the summer and the hustle and bustle of the school year. And who doesn't like a good snow day!"
Importance of giving back:
"Both your school and community are only as good as the people who populate them. It is important to be a good member of them and try to make them the best place they can be for everyone."
Mrs. Webster continues to give her best to the school and community that shaped her, making a lasting difference every day. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

The Junior Construction Trades students at AHS have been hard at work creating handmade wooden holiday décor to share with staff, and their craftsmanship is incredible! From measuring and assembling to sanding and wood-burning, these students showed amazing focus, creativity, and teamwork. We are so proud of the authentic, hands-on learning happening in this program. 🎄🛠️ #RepthatA

Great job, AES! We are so proud of you! ✈️ #RepthatA

The Superintendent’s Leadership Group had a great meeting last week! The students spent the first half of their time reviewing the ACS Cultural Playbook and preparing thoughtful questions for a panel of leaders who visited during the second half. The panel included Pastor Raymon Johnson, Sports Medicine teacher Stephanie McKnight, Athletic Director Tim Goodman and School Resource Officer Shannon McCalla.
The purpose of the panel was to help students understand the many ways people can lead and what it truly means to be a leader who influences others in a positive way.
A big thank you to our four panelists who took time to speak with our future leaders! #RepthatA
