Cultures Abound At AHS

Over the past few weeks, the Human Geography AP (Advanced Placement) class at AHS has been hard at work learning about various cultures throughout the world. The students were assigned a project in which they had to establish their own cultures. The class really decided to take their creativity to the next level and came up with some brilliant projects that showed great effort and a vivid imagination. The students were asked to present the following from their culture: religion, architecture, sports, forms of entertainment, clothing, food, language, music and the culture itself. Each group had a unique and different culture that portrayed their understanding of the assignment. The student exhibits were voted on by peers, administrators and teachers. The best project winners were: Joshua Hudson, Courtney Johnson, Meaghan Morrell and William Saylor.
