The 2023 Academic Reception was held on Wednesday, August 30. The Academic Reception honors students who have attained High Honors or Scholar of Distinction designation in academics for all three trimesters of the 2022-23 academic year. In order to have qualified for this honor, High Honors students must have earned a grade point average (GPA) of 3.6667 or higher on a 4.0 scale. Scholars of Distinction must have earned a GPA of 4.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale.

The program opened in prayer, led by Sarah Miles, English teacher and 2023 Noonan Award recipient. Following, guest speaker Jacob Nelson, from AHA's class of 2016, shared a message of encouragement for students to follow their passions, find friends and family who support them, and take advantage of career opportunities beginning in high school. 

The presentation of the 2023 Academic Awards was led by Principal Heidi Foley and President Tom Shipley. Over 200 students were honored, representing approximately one third of the AHA student body.
