ALPS gives students an opportunity for a classroom setting that provides more individual instruction. Our goal is to promote lifelong learning so that student will become responsible citizens in our ever changing society.

Principal Lusk's Message:

Welcome to ALPS Jr./Sr. High School's Web Page. When students come every period, every day, ready to learn they will be successful! As parents your responsibility is to help your child succeed by making sure that they have enough sleep and are well feed. It is important as parents to ask questions about what is happening in school. Together we will help make your child successful.

I would like to welcome to ALPS Mr. Raun Jensen for his twelveth year, Mr. Michael Flores and Ms. Amy Paris for their second year, and Mr. David Beus for his first year. Mr. Jensen will have mostly nineth and tenth grade students with a few eleventh graders. Mr. Flores will have eleventh and twelveth grade students and Mr. Beus will be teaching the eigth grade class. Ms. Paris is our councilor. Also on the staff are the support personnel of Ms. Beckie Walker, Ms. Charolette Dauber, and Ms. Grace Shelby. Ms. Shelby is substituting for Ms. Debbie Gilbert as she does her student teaching this fall.

 

Our Principal:

I received my undergraduate degree and Masters in Administration from Central Washinton University. The first 24 years in education was spent in Alaska. The first eleven of those years on the Kenai Pensula and the last thirteen in Wasilla, Alaska. I spent the last eight years in Alaska as an assistant principal at Wasilla High School. Since 2000 I was principal of Warden High School before coming to ALPS last school year. My wife Lisa has worked for East Columbia Irrigation District for the last eight years. I have three children, my oldest a son teaches in Alaska. My middle daughter is a nurse in Colorado, and my youngest just graduated from Washington State University. I look forward to serving the community and Othello School District.
