Position: School Counselor
School: Alliance High School
Graduation Year: 2018
Years at ACS: 4
Favorite Memory:
"My favorite memories from attending ACS are from my time on the AHS girls tennis team. Whether it be early morning practices, tournament days, or team meals, we always had fun!"
Influential Staff Member:
"One teacher who really made an impact on me was Angela Mann, my AP Psychology teacher. She was always kind, made class fun, and always treated everyone with respect. You could tell she truly cared about her students and loved what she taught. Her positivity and the way she made learning enjoyable stuck with me and made her class one of my favorites."
Choosing to work for ACS:
"I came back to Alliance City Schools because I believe in what this district stands for, supporting every student and helping them reach their potential. I wanted to be part of that mission and make a difference in students’ lives the way my teachers and counselors once did for me."
Importance of giving back:
"I believe it’s important to serve the school and community I was raised in because this is the place that helped shape who I am. Giving back allows me to support students in the same way I was supported. It’s my way of showing gratitude and investing in the community that gave me so much."
Mrs. McDermitt is paying forward the guidance she once received, making a difference for today’s Aviators just as others made a difference for her. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

Kris Bugara, City Council At-Large member for Alliance, visited Candace Worrell’s government class recently to talk about local government. Learning how local decisions are made helps students understand how their community works and how they can make a difference.

After reading and comparing different versions of the folktale “Stone Soup,” students in Tracy Bowser’s kindergarten class each brought in a food item to make their own pot of soup, mirroring the story’s themes of community and sharing. 🥣 Emerson even brought in the “magic” stone for their soup! 🪨
The classroom was transformed into a market where students shopped with pennies for an item to add to the pot. 🪙 The class then enjoyed the soup together with bread and butter at a table “set for a king.” 👑 #RepthatA

Position: LRC
School: Alliance Middle School
Graduation Year: 2004
Years at ACS: 4
Favorite Memory:
"I loved the musicals we did at AHS. They were always the best!"
Influential Staff Member:
"Ms. Sally Ailes was such a wonderful person and had a passion for the Spanish language and education in general. She made learning fun and challenging."
Choosing to work for ACS:
"I want the students to know that people in their community can be and are successful! That being raised in a low-income family doesn't determine your value or your chance to be successful."
Importance of giving back:
"It's important to me to invest in the community that was so important to my education and upbringing. I had so many wonderful teachers and I hope to be that same person for someone else."
Ms. Buehman's story is a reminder that every student deserves someone who believes in them, and she is proud to be that person for our Aviators. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

Kim Cody’s and Melanie Dubaj’s classes at Alliance Intermediate School combined for a Fun Friday turkey craft 🦃 before fall break and the read-aloud A Plump and Perky Turkey by Teresa Bateman. They also watched A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving 🍂 and enjoyed the same snack the Peanuts Gang had in the show — toast, popcorn, pretzels, and jelly beans! 🍿 How fun! #RepthatA
