Hello Alta High Community!

Please see below for important announcements and dates to note.

 Veterans Day Assembly
The Veterans Day Assembly is an inspiring and all-inclusive event that not only honors our nation’s veterans but increases and heightens young people’s awareness of the sacrifices of great men and women. This year, our Assembly will be held on Tuesday, November 11th.  
 
Please join us as we celebrate all of those who have sacrificed for our great county.  We invite you to submit the form at https://bit.ly/AltaVeterans to honor any veteran from our community or your family, that you would like to honor at this event on November 11th. This year we are putting an emphasis on the veterans present at the assembly.  Photos and a write up will highlight each veteran present.
