MSD of Steuben County

Today, the Class of 2025 walked the halls of AHS one last time. The morning began with the traditional Legacy Walk through the high school, followed by visits to their former elementary schools. Seniors then took a few final loops around the mound by bus. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, the traditional stop on the mound for photos had to be canceled. The celebration continued with a visit to the middle school, then back to the high school for a group photo. Graduation rehearsal concluded the morning’s events. The Graduation Ceremony will be held on Friday, May 30th at 7:00 PM. We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of the Class of 2025!

Thank you to our amazing Speech Pathologists!

Over 30 Students were honored at the 2nd Induction Ceremony for Angola Middle School National Junior Honor Society last night. This is a huge honor, as these students have shown a strong commitment to academics and giving back to the community. They've been actively involved in making Angola better, from tutoring other students to working with Angola Parks and Rec to plant trees. I'm so proud of these students and their hard work! Congratulations to each and every one of them.

If you looked toward the skies above Angola Middle School you may have wondered, “Is that a bird or a plane?” 8th Grade students dived into hands-on learning, building and launching their very own hot air balloons. This adventure challenged students to use engineering principles, problem-solving skill and teamwork. Under the guidance of science teachers Sarah Koch and Heidi Wilhelm, learning reached new heights, proving that science is not just educational, it's downright thrilling!
