Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year

Welcome Back!

Our theme for the 2026-2027 school year is: 

Lead. Ignite. Thrive.

These three words are a reminder of our purpose and our responsibility to one another and to our students. 
Lead yourself. Ignite others. Thrive together.

Four RCA house crests and their corresponding symbols are displayed in the foreground against a dimly lit, arched stone hallway decorated with fairy lights.
Positive Behavior and Comradery

This year, AASD continues participation in the Ron Clark Academy House System. The House System works by grouping all staff and students into one of 4 houses. The Houses are groups that build identity, support, teamwork, and a sense of family. Students and staff are randomly placed into one of the 4 Houses - Altruismo (black), Amistad (red), Isibindi (green), and Reveur (blue). Points are collected throughout the year by each student, counting toward their overall House’s score, to help determine the champions at the end of the year.
