Even though our math teachers are the best, they are always looking for ways to improve. Kathy Wagoner, Amber Andersen, Jason Libberton, and Becky Pulliam make up the math department at American Falls High School. They attended the annual conference of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for 3 days at the end of September. They attended classes taught by experts in the field of mathematics education and learned lots of information and gained new ideas!
"We are all excited for students and teachers to continue to improve at AFHS!"

Senior Parents: The FAFSA application for the upcoming school year is now open. We strongly encourage all seniors to complete the FAFSA. It is a requirement for most scholarships, including the Opportunity Scholarship. Most AFHS students will qualify for financial aid from the FAFSA. All AFHS students who completed the FAFSA and the Opportunity Scholarship application last year were offered the scholarship ($3,500 each year for 4 years).
If you would like help completing the FAFSA, Jaxon Jensen at the high school can help. It takes 30 minutes or less to complete with him. Email jaxonj@sd381.k12.id.us with questions or to set up a time to get help. You can also call the school at 208-226-2531

Summer Program Kids watched The Bad Guys at the Reel Theater then went to Brooklyn's Playground.
Summer is coming to an end and it’s time for us to come together as a team and get the season started! I’d like to invite all who are interested in becoming a Beaver football player for the 2022 season to attend our football camp during the last week of July. This will give us the opportunity to get a head start on learning the new offense and defense, along with allowing us to work on building our team culture that will carry us through the next season and onto the next phases of our lives. Now is the best time to get introduced into football, so bring a friend and we’ll see you there! Things to bring: running/athletic shoes, cleats, come dressed for physical activity in the heat!
