Principal's Message

Dear Thacher Families,

What a wonderful Welcome Back Night we had yesterday last night! It was heartwarming to see so many families walk through our halls, meet teachers, and reconnect with our school community. The energy was incredible, and it truly felt like the perfect way to kick off what promises to be an amazing school year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us – your presence made the evening special. For those who weren't able to attend, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher through our APS app to ask any questions you might have.

Warm regards,

Frank Rich, Principal

Sarah Desautel, Asst. Principal

Attleboro Families:

Attleboro High School greatly appreciates the support of families at all AHS sporting events. While most students are there to watch the games and enjoy the event, a number of students have been left/dropped off unsupervised. This has created safety concerns and disruptions for other fans in attendance.

ALL middle school aged students and younger MUST be accompanied by an adult at all high school events. We appreciate your support keeping all in attendance supervised while allowing an enjoyable environment for all.

Please know this expectation is currently in place for AHS events moving forward.

We look forward to seeing you all soon.
