Early this morning, ATC had a power outage that impacted only the downstairs section of the building. When the outage occurred, staff on-site smelled something that simply wasn't right. Out of an abundance of caution, we contacted the fire department and PNM to come and check our building. The fire department did not detect any heat or fire. PNM and an electrician also checked our building, and the electrician found that one of our circuits, which provides power to the downstairs classrooms, had a grounding issue. Our electrical systems worked as they should by cutting power precisely where it needed to avoid any further issues. At around 3:30 PM today, power was restored. Classes will resume tomorrow as a regular Tuesday block schedule. Thank you for your understanding.

Due to unforseen circumstances related to electrical work that wouldn't be fixed before school started, we will be canceling all classes today. There will be no school today, Monday, April 29. The Front Offices will also be closed today.

ATC's Spring Arts Festival is coming up Thursday May 9! The event includes an art show, student films, music, theatre, engineering exhibits, free food, and more. Doors open at 6:00. Movies at 6:45. Performances at 7:30. Free admission!

Congratulations ATC!

ATC is in the process of creating a graduate profile. A graduate profile is our collective vision for student success. The graduate profile will be developed into a graphic poster that will be shared widely throughout our community to guide decision making, instruction, programming, and assessment. We are seeking feedback from ATC families regarding what is most vital to the support and preparation of ATC graduates. Please complete the following brief survey to let us know. Thank you! https://forms.gle/1y7LwsB4iMP6qu7q8

The 9th grade biology class, AP Biology class, and Study Skills spent a day at the Rio Grande BioPark! Students identified and described human impacts on endangered species, and AP Biology worked on scavenger hunts to review previous units. Thank you to our parent chaperones for helping make the day a success!
