November Panthers in the Spotlight!

APS is excited to announce the hire of our new High School Assistant Principal. Eric Huff was Board approved tonight and will officially rejoin our Panther team on Monday, November 29, 2021. We look forward to Mr. Huff's contribution to our future High School success.

This week's APS staff spotlight is on Paula Dennison. Paula has worked in the district for 11 years. She has been a preschool assistant in the past and this year is the Luce Road Food Service Coordinator. She is an awesome lunch lady! She makes sure Luce Road breakfasts and lunches run smoothly for GSRP Preschool, ECSE, Head Start, Kindergarten and 1st grade kiddos. The best part of her job is making connections with kids. She loves to spend time with her family and loves to go backpacking. She also plays the trombone! The best advise she has been given is to be part of the solution, not the problem. Thank you Paula for sharing your huge heart at Luce Road!

This week's APS Staff Spotlight is on 5th grade teacher, Mr. Mark Kemler! Mr. Kemler has been with APS for 10 years and also serves as our "go-to" building technology support guru. The best part of his job is definitely being able to provide students the opportunity and space to be creative. When thinking of the best quote or piece of advice he's been given, it's "Do something fun with your students each day." Outside of school, Mr. Kemler enjoys horse riding and training. Thank you, Mr. Kemler, for all you do at Pine Avenue!
