Altus High School is off to a great start in 2026! We kicked off the new semester with class meetings, engaging student activities, and lots of smiles across campus. During class meetings, students reviewed the student handbook, which is available at the link below. We encourage families to ask their students about what is new this semester. We look forward to a successful and positive second semester for all Bulldogs!

The Salvation Army’s Annual Fundraising Dinner: A Night of Service and Community Spirit
The Salvation Army recently hosted its annual fundraising dinner, and members of Rotaract and Altus Teens Interact (ATI) stepped up to support the event and serve those who dedicate themselves to helping the community. Six dedicated ATI students, including this year’s president and vice president, volunteered their time and energy to assist with the evening’s activities.
Despite being a small group, their impact was significant—organizers praised them for accomplishing the work of twenty people. The students not only contributed meaningfully but also expressed how much they enjoyed the opportunity to give back. Their enthusiasm and commitment exemplify the spirit of service and leadership that ATI encourages in its members.
