Welcome to Ankeny High School, home of the fabulous Hawks and Hawkettes! "Unbelievable", that is the word I keep hearing from students, teachers and parents when they see our new school for the first time. We are so fortunate to be opening the doors of one of the most beautiful schools in Iowa. As we open our doors on Monday, August 15, we will continue to focus on creating the very best learning experience for our students. We are committed to creating a caring community of learners and we welcome your participation in that effort.

We feel so fortunate at Ankeny High School to have such great students and teachers! We have a very supportive board of education and a district office that allows us to provide our students with the best educational experience in the State of Iowa.

Our articulation with Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) and our commitment to hiring highly qualified teachers allowed students to earn over 13,000 DMACC credits this past year!

Did you know that AHS had 4 National Merit Finalists named last year? Did you know that we had 43 AP Scholars named last year? Did you know that our Project Lead the Way program has exploded with future engineers accessing the opportunity in large numbers? Did you know that we are leading the way for future students who have a strong desire to excel in the academic arena, in the arts and in all of our activities programs? We are very proud of our students their accomplishments and we look forward to sharing more exciting news with you as our students and staff continue to bring great honor to our school!

In addition, many students take advantage of our Post-Secondary Options courses available at other colleges as well. we are excited about continuing our relationship with the University of Northern Iowa that will allow our students to take college physics again this year at AHS!

Ankeny High School exemplifies great success in academics, the arts, and activities. Active parent participation through our music boosters, our activity boosters and our academic boosters is key, and we encourage others to be a part of our support network. In addition, the Ankeny Foundation provides outstanding support for our programs through a generous grant program, made available twice per year. Last year we launched our new Hawk Shop at AHS that was planned and designed by the Student Think Tank, and sponsored in part by the generosity of the Ankeny Foundation. The community of Ankeny supports us in so many ways, and we are thankful for their loyalty and devotion to our students.
