Altoona Area High School Home

In the United States, cancer rates are increasing, especially among young people. This steady incline has resulted in the majority of Americans knowing someone in their family who has had cancer. Junior Margaret Brouse, with inspiration from a friend, identified this poignant issue and decided to create the CARE Club branch in response.

After years of limited participation, Altoona welcomed girls to join the wrestling team.

On Nov. 7-8, the drama club presented their fall play, “Trap.” The show had twists and turns, leaving the audience questioning what would happen next.

After contributing over 4000 hours of community service to various organizations, junior Rylee Bush has been awarded The Presidential Lifetime Achievement award.

From Nov. 1 to Nov. 5 Altoona students voted for President, Senator and House representative in a mock election presented by the Youth and Government Club. In total 598 students voted in the election.
