Caroline Cares

Caroline Cares, the AHS librarian of two years, is know for her encouragement, resourcefulness, and welcoming nature. We would like to acknowledge all the work she has done printing numerous documents for students, adding variety and diversity to the school’s collection of books, and organizing her book club. Caroline’s dedication expands beyond the library’s curation and grants new opportunities to the AHS student body, such as conversation with author Geraldine Brook’s about her latest novel, Horse. Notably, Cares asserts that books foster empathy.

“Caroline is someone who you can always go to whether it be an English paper or personal needs, she is ready to help with an air of responsibility and comfort. She has a trivia of the day that always challenges and excites. The graphic novel book club she helps run is a welcoming, fun environment. She shares her enthusiasm for literature and art with us and we discuss everything from literary themes to representation in media. She encourages a wide variety of stories and perspectives in the library and possesses an incredible insight into human connection.”

Adam Cheney

Adam Cheney spent his time at AHS teaching IB Psychology, IB History, and world geography. Cheney’s classes are always lively, and often feature relevant photos or anecdotes from his time abroad. Cheney’s international perspective bolsters his ability to provide an accurate and holistic account of history. Students are eager to “get historical,” each time they enter his classroom. AHS will greatly miss Cheney as he begins teaching in Brazil, but will remain appreciative of his additions to our school’s culture.

“You can tell that he cares a lot about what he’s teaching because he always throws jokes in. He is really helpful with assignments and encouraging growth in providing thorough feedback.”- Ernest

Sunkel

“He holds his students to really high standards and believe in their ability to improve and do well. This was extremely motivating and was refected in teaching methods such as revisions and the idea of constant improvement.” -
