The Rev Report - January 16, 2026

Posted Date: 01/16/26 (07:29 PM)

Dear ABRHS Community,

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, there will be no school this Monday, January 19. During his lifetime, Dr. King worked tirelessly to promote racial justice, leading through service to his community and country. We will also honor Dr. King’s legacy at our 26th Annual Community Service Awards Ceremony on Monday, January 26.

I would also like to share that students and staff are working hard in order finish our first semester strong. We will begin our second semester this Thursday, January 22. Congratulations to everyone on an excellent first half of the school year.

Mr. Cacciola, AB Athletic Trainer, was named NBC 10 Hometown MVP

Athletic Events Fan Expectations

We love spirited AB fans cheering positively for our team at athletic events. We want to remind everyone of the AB Spectator Expectations our Athletic Director, Mr. Scanlon, shared earlier today, and thank you for representing AB well.

Alumni Connections Program

Last week, our Counseling Department sponsored a panel of alumni who spoke about their AB education and subsequent career and professional paths after high school. Speakers shared valuable advice for our students, including:

Use college as a time to explore your interests and learn more about yourself.
AB prepares students very well for college. You'll definitely see this when you get there.
Get to know your professors early on. Go to office hours–they are there to help you.
Explore internships and other opportunities to get work experience. They are valuable to learn about yourself and what you like to do. It also helps when looking for a permanent job later.
Surround yourself with friends who want the best for you

If you were unable to attend, you can view the event here: Alumni Connections.

9th Grade Counseling Groups

This week, on Thursday and Friday, our 9th graders met in groups with counselors during their English classes. They discussed many important topics, including building relationships, course selection, available academic and social-emotional supports, extracurricular opportunities, and high school transcripts.
