🎉 Exciting news from AJHS! On Tuesday, community stakeholders proudly cut the ribbon to officially open our brand-new gymnasium, a community achievement made possible by the passing of the referendum and incredible support all around. This new space will have a lasting #D102Impact on our entire D102 community.

Superintendent McIntyre even shot some hoops after the event while AJHS Catalyst club members gave tours of the renovated spaces throughout the school.

A huge THANK YOU to our Board of Education, staff, students, community members, Village of Buffalo Grove, Buffalo Grove Park District, Nicholas and Associates, and Wold Architects and Engineers. Your dedication brought this #BrightFuture goal to life for our students. Here’s to many great moments ahead in our new space! 🏀 #EveryDayEveryStudent

Both our boys and girls played outstanding rounds in this year’s Sectional Golf Tournament ⛳️, with many achieving personal best scores 🎉.

One golfer’s two-over 74 is the second-best Sectional score in Illinois 🏆, earning a spot at next week’s State Golf Tournament. Good luck! 🍀

Thanks to Coach Drews, Coach Konieczka, and Coach Rosenak for their support and dedication to golf at AJHS!

✨ Our Tripp Tigers kicked off the school year with bubbles and big smiles! After their Meet and Greet inside, students celebrated the brand-new playground as Dr. McIntyre handed out bottles of bubbles (who also tested out the new slide!).

Friendships were formed, new faces were welcomed, and giggles filled the air. What a perfect start to the year! 💛🐯💙
