Academic Success Center
The Academic Success Center provides an environment designed to enhance overall school academic performance.  The ASC builds constructive communication between students and teachers while bridging classroom instruction and individual need.  Tutoring services from the Academic Success Center are available before school, throughout the day, and after school.

Catechetical Foundations
All students are required to take four years of religion courses including courses in Scripture, church history, apologetics, and ecclesiology.  The school employs a chaplain as well as a guidance counselor, and area priests are involved in the fostering of students’ sacramental growth.  Core requirements in English, math, science, and social studies exceed state requirements, and the academic rigor of AHS courses has resulted in consistent excellence on the ACT and other standardized tests.
