Welcome to Alexander High School, where our mission is to provide a quality education for all students in a safe, supportive environment. We offer a family friendly school designed to serve our students and parents in being successful to meet the challenges of the 21st century. We are proud to announce that Alexander made Adequate Yearly Progress as defined by the No Child Left Behind Act (2001), and increasing our graduation rate by 6% from the previous school year. We celebrate the concerted efforts of our teachers and staff, our students, parents, and community leaders for helping to make our school successful in its endeavor to provide rigorous academic programs, along with a variety of extracurricular activities. We offer a host of opportunities where all students can capture the spectrum of the high school experience. One of our unique assets include a Freshman Mentoring Program in which our junior/senior students are paired with a 9th grader to help them transition to high school successfully. They meet to discuss challenges that many freshmen face, which can include academic and social issues. Another initiative underway is our Adopt- a-Junior Program which is designed to foster a supportive and nurturing relationship between juniors and staff members. It is our belief that students thrive in educational environments where they have at least one supportive staff member that helps them navigate their pathway through high school and beyond. Alexander is home to region and state championship titles. Chad Starnes and Ethan Blackstock hold state championship titles for our Wrestling Team, while our Track and Field state championship titles are held by Andre Carter, Cameron Reid, and Jordan Cole. In football, Kevin Mitchell received All State Honors. Our Mock Trial Team garnered the region championship title, while Mike Hindley, Ryan Papin, and Drew Milhollin competed nationally in Network Design in Anaheim, California. We look forward to an exciting year filled with a host of wonderful opportunities. We dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of excellence as we soar to new heights. Best Regards, Nathan Hand, Supervising Principal
