<h3 class="breakHead">What was new for the Class of 2020: Principal Eric Hamilton in fall 2017</h3>

<h3 class="breakHead">Principal's reflections on the Class of 2020: The class of 2020 have grown into remarkable leaders at ACHS. They've consistently modeled our values of "respect, responsibility, pride" and have set the bar higher than ever for future Sequoits. They have handled extraordinary circumstances this spring with the same humble determination that represents the attitude of this senior class. Our seniors reached new heights this year, and most impressively, it was consistently after overcoming setbacks and challenges. Congratulations, Class of 2020!</h3>
