The programs we support

Learn about the AHS speech and drama programs

Speech

AHS Speech gives students a place to showcase their talents, grow their public speaking skills, create art, and tell stories. With a variety of categories and a welcoming environment, every student has a chance to find their voice in Large Group and Individual competitions.

Drama

AHS Drama brings students together to tell stories, build skills, and create unforgettable experiences through the fall play and spring musical. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, students have opportunities to explore their creativity, work as a team, and bring stories to life.

We have a role for you

You don't have to know theater. You don't have to be an expert. You just have to be willing to help.

From building sets, to selling concessions, to helping provide meals during tech week, there is a long list of ways to get involved.
