Kicking off the semester with a full plate, AHS students are ready to take on the challenges ahead with the support of our dedicated counselors. Offering guidance through the college journey and beyond, Junior Counselor Ms. Gina Zavala shares her advice for this month:

"Things might not always go the way you want them to, but keep moving forward. Don’t give up—keep trying, and success will always follow down the road."

For seniors, she urges them to embrace the final months of high school and finish strong:

"Make sure to enjoy these last few months and end the year off strong. College decisions are coming out, and while they may not always align with your initial hopes, trust that you will end up where you’re meant to be. Stay positive and keep pushing forward!"

As of Jan. 18, TikTok's For You Page displays a notice of "ineligibility" under a new U.S. law. However, the platform has announced plans to begin restoring services to American users.

The ban follows the Supreme Court's decision on Friday to uphold bipartisan legislation signed by President Joe Biden in April. TikTok's notice reads: "A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now."
