Merging art with math! 🎨 These Southeast Alamance High art students gained a whole new perspective after Ms. Lampson's lesson! By overlapping objects and measuring angles, students created the illusion of depth in their 2D works. 📏 #ABSSArts #StudentCenteredFutureFocused

Congratulations to Karen Rhea, math teacher for Math 3 and AP Calculus at Western Alamance High School.

Karen has led district professional development through her work as a curriculum writer, math leader, and was also Western High's Teacher of the Year last school year and a finalist for the ABSS Teacher of the Year Award. 👏

ABSS Alert: We want to inform you of an incident this morning involving two parents in the car line at Garrett Elementary. A parent has been charged with having a gun on campus.
