Congratulations to James Howard who just signed with Wofford University's track program today. James is a phenomenal athletic and fantastic person. He shines on and off of the field. James has been a track athlete at AHS since his 7th grade year, participating in every track event. He is a multi-talented athlete and has helped secure five regional championships for our male team. We are excited to see him finish his high school career on a high note. We are looking forward to watching him excel as part of Wofford's track program.
