People here at AAHS show a great interest in the science department as well. An example of this is the biology club run by biology teacher, Cris Robson. The biology club is more than just a place of learning, it’s also a creative place and positive environment. 

“It’s a really fun cause of all the low stress experiments and it’s a fun environment. To learn more about biology without the stress of a classroom or homework,” sophomore Lily Larson said joyfully.
