💃🕺 The first-ever Dancing with the Jetsetters was amazing! 🕺💃
Two teams, The Underdogs and The Queens, made up of Jetsetters and AHS staff members, took the stage at last week’s send-off concert to show off their moves! Each team was randomly assigned a song and worked together to choreograph a routine to perform for the crowd. 🎶
🏆 The Queens took home the very first Mirror Ball trophy! The winning team included Jetsetter seniors Makenna Root, Gabby Heslop and Elle Nussbaum, underclassmen Grace McGeehen and Kara Eversdyke along with AHS teachers Liz Davis, Bri Boehlke, and Kaylen McFarland. What a performance! 👏🎉
We’re already looking forward to next year’s Dancing with the Jetsetters! 🩵 #RepthatA

✈ Portia (Hairston) Johnson ✈
Position: Teacher
School: Alliance High School
Graduation Year: 1997
Years at ACS: 11
Favorite Memory:
"My lasting memories include making new friends after moving here from NY, dissecting animals in Science class, volunteering for Key Club/National Honor Society, founding Cultural Mystiques club, Track & Field meets, screaming, "Ninety-ninety, Ninety-ninety, Ninety-SEVEN!" at pep rallies, prom, & graduation."
Influential Staff Member:
"There are so many to name. Coach King for his all-around leadership, Joe Zelasko for his engaging storytelling of history, Mrs. Wuske for 'A-space-S-space-ASD-space,' Libby Patterson for teaching me to critically think, Mr. Morris for teaching me resiliency, Anne Rackley for everything about her, Cynthia Kriener for her onboarding and allowing me to be her aide, Sally Ailes for extending her curriculum to Spanish 5 & 6 and fueling my teaching dream. And of course, James Ballor, for a highly engaging Humanities class every day and our DC trip."
Choosing to work for ACS:
"I developed my teaching interest in the classrooms at Alliance High School and the sanctuary of Noble Street COGIC. This community alone financed my first education degree. I want to always honor the people and organizations that gave me a belief in continuous learning and growth."
Importance of giving back:
"Although I was not raised here, my time here showed me the intricate connections between family, church, school, work, and social life. Serving Alliance proves to my own children and students that they can play an important role in developing a stronger community in the future."
From student to educator, Mrs. Johnson's embodies the belief that strong communities are built when people invest in one another. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

Favorite Memory:
"My favorite memories from attending ACS as a student are playing softball and cheering in the student section, known as the "Cockpit Crazies" at all of the football games."
Influential Staff Member:
"A teacher that positively influenced me while attending ACS was Mr. James Ballor. Mr. Ballor had a keen sense of humor, impeccable wit and a mean swagger when he walked. He embodied the true definition of an educator, and I wanted to learn as much as I could from him during my time at AHS."
Choosing to work for ACS:
"I chose to come back to work for ACS because I wanted to help the next generation of students achieve their goals and help prepare them for life, college and careers."
Importance of giving back:
"I believe it is important to serve the school and community that raised me, as the teachers and community leaders invested greatly in my education and personal growth. Giving back to the community that shaped who I am today holds deep meaning for me. I am committed to sharing the knowledge and experiences I have gained to help inspire and guide the next generation of emerging leaders in Alliance."
Mrs. Johnson is bringing her passion and experience back to ACS to help students reach their goals and step confidently into their future. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

Juniors from the Culinary Arts CTE program and two students from the Intro to Culinary Arts class helped prepare heavy hors d'oeuvres and a beautiful grazing table for the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce Christmas party! 🍽️ The students prepared food for more than 50 guests and set everything up before the event.
They did a fantastic job, and we couldn’t be prouder of these talented young chefs! 👏 #RepthatA
