History
From its opening, AHS dealt with its own overcrowding problem. During its second year of operation, the campus installed temporary trailer classrooms in one of the parking lots. The following year, a new wing on the east side of the campus was built, the cafeteria was expanded, and the temporary buildings were removed. Finally, in 2009, the district opened Summer Creek High School to serve the large Fall Creek and Summerwood subdivisions. Recently, AHS has again begun to experience an overcrowding issue. During the 2015–2016 school year, it built temporary trailer classrooms again in the parking lot of one of the houses to make room for the influx of students. During the 2021-2022 school year, the school constructed an aptly-named "New Wing" to the west side of the school, providing additional classroom and flex space for additional students. The 2022-2023 school year brought additional temporary trailer classrooms near the Gold LGI.
