Math Classes Get Recognized
Using the "ShowMe" App, AGS math teachers William Kiker and Kelly Wroblewski had their Algebra 2 and Pre-Calc students create tutorials on math topics that were featured on the "ShowMe" App website.  Read the article, "Using ShowMe to Develop Student Created Math Tutorials," to find out how they are giving the Khan Academy a run for their money.

Sophomores Get Published
Read the Forefront Austin article on Sophomore Spring Projects: "Global Studies Students Challenged to Become Problem-Solvers, Visionaries and Pot-Stirrers."  In addition to the main article, two of the projects were chosen to be highlighted.

Thanks for the Memories
As AGS says good-bye to the first graduating class, we can't help but recall a few moments of learning and friendship from our last four years together. Good Luck Seniors!
