Ferry Street, Anoka, MN 55303 763-506-1000 www.ahschools.us ADMINISTRATION Mr. David Law Superintendent This registration guide is helpful in outlining the broad range of required and elective courses available to you. As you review it, I encour- age you to select new or challenging courses as your electives. There may be something that really didn’t pique your interest at first glance, but after giving it a try you find it enjoyable. Tak- ing a variety of courses will also help you explore career paths; there could never be a better time in your life to be doing this. Dr. Eric Melbye Associate Superintendent, Middle Schools and Student Services Talk your course choices over with your family and ask your teachers for advice. You can also speak with your school counselor. Your middle school has dedicated staff who are happy to help you find the courses that are right for you.
