Alliance City Schools (ACS) is committed to strengthening family engagement as a key part of its vision to prepare all Aviators for life, college and careers.
Recognizing that education is a collaborative effort between schools, families and the community, ACS has taken on the goal of increasing family involvement which will help to increase student achievement and growth throughout the district.
Family engagement is essential to ensuring a student has a strong and supportive learning environment. Over the past few years, the district has been building a team of staff members, administrators and families whose sole focus is to ensure families are included in their child’s educational experience at Alliance.
“Family engagement is crucial in the Alliance school system because it fosters a collaborative partnership, which directly contributes to student success and overall well-being,” said Michelle Balderson, Director of Elementary Education. “When families are involved, they model the importance of learning and show children that education is a priority. This involvement helps instill positive attitudes toward
school and learning that can last throughout a child’s life.”
The Family Engagement Team works at both the district and building levels, gathering data and feedback from families to inform goal-setting and planning throughout the school year.
One key initiative for this year’s family engagement team was the family engagement survey that was recently sent out to all elementary buildings. The survey helps the teams identify the level of family involvement at each building and determine what resources or support parents need to feel more engaged. Based on the feedback, the district and individual buildings will collaborate with families to set actionable goals and tailor events and communications to meet the needs of the families.
Currently, ACS offers a variety of opportunities for families to get involved. These include a thriving home visit program at Alliance Preschool and Alliance Intermediate School, an active Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) for the Preschool, Early Learning School and Elementary School and parent-teacher conferences in the fall and spring at all buildings. There are also a ton of afterschool events such as winter concerts, family game nights and the annual Fall Festival which encourage families to support their children and get them involved.
Additionally, Superintendent Rob Gress hosts regular Air Traffic Controller meetings with a group of parents representative of all buildings to ensure transparent communication and provide a supportive place for parents to voice concerns and questions.
Looking ahead, the district hopes to extend the home visit program to all schools, offer flexible event scheduling when possible for working parents and find ways to support parents as they assist their children with their academic work outside of school.
“Ideally, family engagement looks like a shared partnership between families and educators where trust and competence are established well enough that families want to engage with us through arts, athletics and academic events, but also to resolve conflicts, solve problems, set goals and help drive our work to a place that will benefit our students and our communities,” said Derrick Showell Jr., Coordinator of Student Services.

Family engagement is so much more than the number of families who attend events. It’s a true partnership that’s focused on the success of all students.
AMS Focuses on Career Connections
With a renewed focus on career preparation at Alliance City Schools, Alliance Middle School (AMS) launched a new Career Connections class for all students.
Aimed at helping students in grades 6-8 explore potential career paths and prepare for their future, the course provides a structured approach for students to discover their interests, aptitudes and passions, and to begin considering the educational paths that will help them reach their career goals.
AMS students participate in this course for one quarter in 6th and 7th grades and for a full semester in 8th grade. With the multi-year course in place, each grade level will focus on a different aspect of career exploration. In 6th grade, students are introduced to various careers and the possibilities within different industries. By 7th grade, the students dive deeper, exploring their individual strengths and how they align with career options through tools like the YouScience assessment. In 8th grade, students select careers of interest to research further and create presentations to demonstrate their learning, culminating their three-year career connections experience.
“We wanted to provide a course that helps our students find what they are passionate about and have an interest in to help them start to think about possible careers that they would be interested in as they transition into their adult lives,” said Principal Tim Mosher. “This course not only helps them focus on what they need—education, training or apprenticeships—in order to achieve a career they are interested in, but furthermore, it creates discussion between students and their families about possible careers.”
The Career Connections course is designed to spark these important conversations. In 7th grade, students use the YouScience assessment, which matches their aptitudes and interests to over 800 careers, many of which students may not have heard of before. Each year, students revisit their results, encouraging self-reflection as their interests evolve and they gain a sense of what they would like to do careerwise. This program is made possible with funding from the Alliance Area Chamber of Commerce, providing each student with a paid YouScience account, and the district’s affiliation with Stark Education Partnership.
“My hope is that students will become more aware of career opportunities available to them, but also become more self aware of what they are good at,” said Matt Horning, Career Connections teacher. “We’ve been having some really good conversations in class about the difference between a job that pays the bills for the short term versus a career that you prepare yourself for and can enjoy for the long term.”
For the past couple of years, Alliance Middle School has hosted Career Cafes, bringing in community members from various businesses and career fields to speak to the students about what they do and what led them to their chosen career. Horning hopes to see the program grow and introduce more career professionals to the students. The connections they make and the information they receive during the career cafes is invaluable.
If you are interested in speaking at a Career Cafe, please reach out to Matt Horning at horningma@alliancecityschools.org.
SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Aviator Nation,
As I help prepare our newsletters, I am always reminded of just how special our schools (and community) are. I am so proud of all the good things happening in our buildings—thanks to our dedicated staff and the incredible potential of our students.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to prepare students for life, college and careers. This starts early, with career education in the elementary grades, continues with exploration in middle school, and solidifies with thoughtful planning in high school. We believe in the importance of helping every student define their path and pursue it with confidence.
We work toward our vision with a relentless commitment to creating a positive culture, where every student, staff member and family feels valued and supported. We may not always get it perfect, but rest assured that we constantly strive to do better, to create a school district that reflects the best in all of us.
Enjoy reading about our successes and thank you for your support!
Rob Gress, Superintendent of Schools #ProudSupt
Staff Spotlight: ASHLEY LEWIS & SARAH LANTZ “
At Alliance City Schools (ACS), a core value is being a caring citizen. This is a value the district strives to instill in every student who passes through the halls and one that’s promoted among the staff.
Ashley Lewis and Sarah Lantz are two ACS staff members who exemplify the ideals of being a caring citizen by volunteering their time at Pegasus Farm and the Military and First Responder Center (MFC).
Lewis, an early childhood intervention specialist at Alliance Preschool, began volunteering at Pegasus in 2016. She started as an instructor in training and through The Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International, she became a Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor and Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning. Lantz, a science teacher at Alliance Middle School for the past 21 years, began her volunteer journey with Pegasus after taking riding lessons from Lewis when she turned 40 and decided she wanted to learn something new. Both have a passion for helping people and animals, so when Lantz expressed an interest in taking a trip to Sri Lanka to volunteer with elephants, Lewis asked “Wouldn’t it be easier to volunteer at Pegasus?” Lantz has been a volunteer ever since.
Pegasus is a therapeutic horse farm that works with children and individuals with disabilities. The farm relies heavily on volunteers, like Lewis and Lantz, in order to operate. The volunteers lead the classes, offer support when needed, maintain the horses and barns and interact with the riders in a positive way.
I love the riders I get to work with every week,” Lantz explained. “They are more courageous and braver than I will ever be. The more I’m around people displaying these qualities, the more I become the type of person I really want to be. It’s important that I volunteer at Pegasus so that they can continue to offer quality therapeutic riding programs, but selfishly, it’s important for me so that I can be inspired.”
When working with horses, it’s important to be aware of intuitive skills such as connection, energy, intent and pressure. All four skills are needed to lead a horse in the direction it’s supposed to go. Both Lewis and Lantz said the skills translate well into being an effective teacher. They have to make connections with the students to build trust, they need positive energy to encourage the student, a clear intent of what the students are to be doing and learning and they need to know when to apply and release pressure to ensure students achieve results and stay on task.
“There are many aspects of being in the arena and the barn that are similar to being in a classroom at school,” Lewis said. "Being an instructor in the arena is similar to being a teacher in the classroom, managing students, volunteers/staff, organizing and planning, being flexible and leading in a kind, caring, respectful and intuitive manner. We can not control the outside circumstances for the students, but we can help provide a safe, fun and welcoming learning environment for the students to thrive in while they are there whether on a horse or in the classroom.”
Lewis and Lantz are both making a positive impact in the classroom and in the community through their time at ACS and their volunteer work with Pegasus. They are great examples of how Aviators can be caring citizens.
AES Students Earn "Aviator Bucks"
This school year, Alliance Elementary School (AES) has launched an innovative Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) initiative called "Aviator Bucks," where students earn a weekly paycheck based on meeting building and classroom expectations. The program is designed to encourage positive behavior while teaching essential financial literacy concepts to all second and third grade students.
The new system builds on AES’s existing behavior tracking system called Kickboard and expands it into a full monetary and banking system.
"Our goal as a PBIS team at AES was to create a structured yet engaging method to reward good behavior, responsibility and effort," explained Assistant Principal Taylor Logothetides. “The system uses Aviator Bucks as a form of school currency that students can earn by demonstrating positive behaviors such as being a role model, giving their best effort or showing kindness.”
The previous system, which utilized percentages to earn rewards, was difficult for the students to understand. The paycheck system not only puts it into a real world scenario, but it also assists the students with financial literacy by encouraging them to think about how much they have to spend and or need to save if they want to attend one of the big quarterly incentives.
While this is the first year the new behavior program has been implemented school wide, a third of the students and staff piloted the program last spring and found great success with it.
“The students have responded enthusiastically,” Logothetides
said. “They love the opportunity to earn and spend their Aviator Bucks. Many have started setting savings goals, deciding whether to purchase their ticket for an event early on or save a little and spend a little each week. Students are also becoming more aware of how their attendance impacts their earnings, as they know arriving on time and staying until the end of the day helps them earn a full weekly paycheck.”
The new system has been a huge benefit for the students and staff because it reinforces positive behaviors through immediate feedback and rewards that students can earn weekly or quarterly. The students enjoy the variety of rewards they can earn, some of which include sitting in the teacher’s chair for the day, classroom privileges, Croc charms, stickers, school supplies, small snacks and participation in the bigger incentives and events.
“The structured nature of the system creates a predictable and fair environment that supports the district’s PBIS and R Factor frameworks, emphasizing how students' responses to situations directly impact their learning and outcomes,” Logothetides explained. “This initiative not only rewards good behavior, but also prepares students with practical life skills. Our hope is that it continues to evolve and serve as a model for integrating behavioral and academic development and creating a positive and supportive school culture where every student feels valued and motivated.”
ACS Partners with The Legacy Project
Alliance City Schools has partnered with The Legacy Project of Stark County, a community initiative designed to provide mentorship opportunities for students in grades K-12.
The Legacy Project’s mission is to build strong, small group mentoring relationships between students and trusted adults from their community, fostering social, emotional and academic growth. This initiative is based on the belief that every student can benefit from a mentor, who can offer the guidance and encouragement needed to thrive both personally and academically.
Currently, the Legacy Project is focused on students in grades 9-12 at Alliance High School. Six groups, each consisting of six students and two mentors, meet every Tuesday for 30-minute sessions. These meetings offer students a safe and supportive space where they can interact with positive role models from the community. The goal is to promote personal growth through social and emotional learning, which equips students with essential life skills such as coping with stress, building healthy relationships, and making responsible decisions.
“Social and emotional learning provides tools to help students understand how to cope with stress and foster an outlet for social interactions,” explained Maria McDermitt, the AHS lead for Legacy Project.
The purpose of The Legacy Project is clear: to connect young students with reliable adult mentors who can help guide them through the challenges of adolescence and beyond.
Students were selected for the program based on their leadership potential, with the belief that these mentoring sessions will nurture their skills and encourage personal development. However, as The Legacy Project grows, the goal is to expand and include as many students as possible, recognizing that every student has the potential to benefit from a mentoring relationship.
Alliance’s participation in The Legacy Project is still in its early stages, but the potential impact it will have on students is great. The hope is to see students grow in confidence, develop strong leadership skills, and build lasting connections with their mentors that will help to prepare them for life, college and careers in the same way the district does.

Construction Trades Partners with Habitat for Humanity
In a new community partnership, the Construction Trades Career Tech Program at Alliance High School (AHS) has teamed up with the Alliance chapter of Habitat for Humanity to provide students with hands-on experience in the construction field while giving back to the community.
After shadowing a neighboring district’s construction program, Josh Davis learned how beneficial a partnership with Habitat for Humanity could be and decided to bring the experience to the students at AHS.
"I learned how valuable this experience was for their students, and I knew I wanted to create something similar for ours," said Davis, a Construction Trades teacher.
After some planning, the partnership took shape, and now, whenever possible AHS students volunteer on-site with Habitat for Humanity on Fridays. The partnership allows for the Construction Trades students to gain real-world job skills that go beyond the classroom. They get to experience what it’s like to work on an actual construction site.
They learn how classroom lessons translate into real-world situations," Davis said. "On the job site, they see firsthand how teamwork, communication and hard work come together to actually build something."
So far, the students have been involved in framing, including building walls inside a house and constructing the floor and walls for a shed on the property.
The students have had some challenges along the way. One of the most significant being adjusting to the physical demands of construction work. For many of the students, it’s their first time engaging in hands-on, labor-intensive tasks.
The partnership offers more than just construction experience. It also provides students with a chance to prepare for future careers in the trades. There’s no better way to learn than with on-the-job training and the experience they are getting with Habitat for Humanity complements the work they do in the classroom.
While it’s hard work, seeing their projects take shape makes it all worth it for the Construction Trade Juniors and Seniors. Not only are they gaining necessary skills for their future careers, but they're also learning what it means to be a caring citizen, a core value ACS strives to instill in all students.
"They're giving back and volunteering in their community," Davis explained. "We remind the students each time we go that they should feel proud of what they’re doing."
As the partnership grows, both the school and Habitat for Humanity are optimistic about expanding it further to include more days on the work site for the students.
Jenna Heslop Attends World Leadership Congress
Senior Jenna Heslop had the unique opportunity to be the first Alliance Aviator to attend the HOBY World Leadership Congress this past summer. Read about her experience below.
Over the summer, I attended the Hugh O'Brian World Leadership Congress (HOBY WLC), held at Loyola University in Chicago. After I was nominated to attend the 2023 Ohio North regional seminar, I realized attending HOBY WLC was an offer that I couldn't pass up. With the help of many generous donations, I am so proud to be the first to represent Alliance High School at the international conference. There were delegates from 12 countries and ambassadors from 49 states all coming together with the same motivation to be leaders of the world.
Attending WLC was truly life-changing, but what was even more impactful were the people I met. In one short week, those people became family. I felt more seen and understood than ever before. During the week, we split into “community spaces,” which are groups based on the characteristics of an individual. I opted to identify myself with the religious community group for those meetings. Being in that space, I learned that even when I am surrounded with people from all different walks of life, we can come together and have meaningful conversations about something we all feel deeply about.
One of the events included guest speaker, Ethan Zohn, who was the men's goalkeeper for the Zimbabwe National Soccer Team and winner of the reality TV series Survivor. In 2009, he was
diagnosed with cancer. He spoke about his journey battling cancer and living every day knowing that it could be his last.
Something he said that has stuck with me is “We all die, but we have to live until we die.”
We all need to “embrace the suck” and put any hesitations aside because, at the end of the day, the experience of failure teaches us more than the outcome of trying.
“While at the Congress, I met a friend who told me, “My goal is to die knowing I lived a happy life.” At the end of the day, all that matters is knowing you surround yourself with people that love and support you, hold you when you're hurt, lift you higher, and push you to do the same.
All you can do is appreciate the little things and go to bed with a smile on your face. I never want to forget how I felt walking back to the dorms after we were dismissed for the day to finish off the night with a smaller group of ambassadors.
The final night, we answered the question, “What does HOBY mean to you?” To me, HOBY means giving my full self and still receiving an outpour of love, compassion, and support for all I am and all that I can be. Who you are is how you lead, and those are values that you should always hold true to. During one of the workshops, an ambassador said, “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” In a world where it is easiest to step on others to get to the top, we need to remember to help others up as well. I am forever grateful to be an alum of the 2024 HOBY WLC.
ACS Navigates Use of AI
Artificial Intelligence has been around in various forms for decades, but it wasn’t until the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November of 2022 that it became easily accessible for the general public, including teens and kids attending school.
With a simple prompt, in a matter of seconds, AI can create essays, articles, letters and even answer difficult questions. As soon as it was released, Alliance City Schools was faced with a decision of whether or not to allow the use of AI by students and staff and where the line of ethics should be drawn. ACS values being progressive and finding new ways to support the students and staff. After discussions among administrators and teaching staff, it was clear the district couldn’t completely shun the use of AI by the staff and students. It’s the future and it’s here to stay. A better approach is to embrace it and teach the students how to use it ethically as a tool similar to how the internet and Google have been utilized since their creation.
“AI will never replace the work done in the classroom,” said Chad Morris, ACS Director of Technology. “As a district, our goal is to use it responsibly and with limitations. We have no intention of disallowing the use of AI as a whole.”
English teachers are facing the most challenges with the release of AI. Since its release a couple years ago, sites like ChatGPT have made it easy for students to turn in assignments fully generated by AI. Students are expected to turn in work that is fully their own. However, AI can be used responsibly as a tool to prompt ideas, gather information and even assist in the editing process. The district is continuing to navigate these challenges as AI progresses in its abilities.
“We are learning how to use AI in different ways each day as the AI models available continue to grow,” Morris said. “I think there is a huge opportunity to have it help analyze student assessment data and find trends that we may not have found in the past.”
Parents are encouraged to try out the various AIs as a way to understand what they are, how they can be used and as a way to assist in promoting safe and ethical usage of the programs.
“My suggestion is to try it out yourself,” Morris encouraged. “ChatGPT and Gemini from Google are both available for free. A quick Google search for ‘How can I use AI?’ will give many resources on how to use it in your daily life or to do complex tasks. Don’t be afraid to ask it to do something out of the ordinary, like creating a logo for your business or writing a story for your child to read.”
AHS Danced the Night Away
The students at Alliance High School danced the night away on Saturday, Oct. 12 at their Disco Fever themed homecoming dance. For three hours, the students got dressed up and had a great time dancing with their friends and taking pictures at the fun photo stations set up around the dance.
Leading up to the dance the students hosted a spirit week with each day a different theme. The themes included: Pajama Day, Twin Day, Teen Beach Movie, Farmers and Flannels and a Pink Out to raise awareness for Breast Cancer. The spirit week led up to a fun-filled pep rally before the homecoming game against West Branch on Friday, Oct. 11.
Along with all the fun activities throughout the week, the homecoming court was announced and the crowning ceremony took place before the start of the football game.
Homecoming Court:

Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Haley Inspires AHS Students with Personal Stories of Perseverance
Students and staff at Alliance High School (AHS) were inspired by a visit from Pro Football Hall of Fame member Charles Haley. Haley shared personal stories about his school experiences and the obstacles he overcame on his path to success. His message of perseverance and hope resonated throughout the gymnasium, marking the day as an extraordinary learning experience for the students.
Following Haley's talk, the school's Career Tech students participated in breakout sessions led by speakers from the Hall of Fame and Alliance City Schools. These sessions covered pivotal topics such as finances and banking, interview skills, team collaboration, social media and self-care, providing students with real-world insights and practical knowledge.
ACS is dedicated to delivering the best possible educational experience to its students, fostering an environment where academic achievement and personal growth are equally valued. The day's events emphasized the district's commitment to providing students with unique educational opportunities that extend beyond the classroom and provide them with relevant career-oriented topics. By partnering with organizations in the community, like the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the district aims to broaden students' horizons and prepare them for life, college and careers.
Thank you to Charles Haley and the Pro Football Hall of Fame for partnering with AHS for this fantastic event!

The Investment Alliance Scholarship Continues
The top 15 seniors at Alliance High School have once again been awarded the Investment Alliance Scholarship from the University of Mount Union. The partnership, which began in 2014, has thrived for more than a decade with 12 classes of scholars for a total of 180 students being offered the scholarship.
The top 15 students in the class of 2025 were surprised by Mount Union and district administrators who came together to congratulate the students on their academic success and presented them with the opportunity to attend Mount for four years on a full-tuition scholarship.
The students heard from Mount Union’s President, Greg King, who encouraged all of them to strongly consider joining the Purple Raider family next fall. They also heard from Superintendent Rob Gress, Principal Kristy Woodford and two past Investment Alliance Scholars who graduated from Mount and returned to work for Alliance City Schools.
Each student has the scholarship if they choose to accept it. The administrators, both from Alliance City Schools and Mount Union, encouraged the students to look into the programs available to them and all that the university has to offer if they choose to attend. Each of the 15 students will meet with their school counselors this year to plan a customized visit to Mount Union where they can explore the majors, programs and athletic teams they could potentially pursue in college.
The students who choose to accept the Investment Alliance Scholarship will be announced during the annual Senior Scholarship and Career Commitment Night scheduled for Monday, May 5, 2025.
