Warm Greetings from Archbishop Alter High School!
Thank you for
taking the time to peruse our website and discover what is new and
exciting about Alter High School. We have no doubt that you will come to
understand, in just a few short clicks, what the Alter experience is
all about. There is much more to Archbishop Alter High School, however,
than may meet the eye in our website. Take a closer look
at just what makes the Alter community so unique.
Archbishop Alter
High School is a Catholic, comprehensive, co-educational high school
that is owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. We are a
community that is: founded in faith, preserved with pride and sustained by spirit.
Our outstanding faculty and staff model these principles daily in our
classrooms and our incredible students and alumni live them and share
them with everyone they meet.
Archbishop Alter High School was founded in faith
in 1962 when the first students entered its doors. Alter is, first and
foremost, a Catholic high school. We take our faith, the practice of it
and the promotion of it very seriously. It is an educational imperative
for us that our students not only receive a high quality academic
experience, but that they are: morally and ethically grounded,
understand and model the importance of service for others, respect the
life and dignity of others, are good stewards of the earth, and
understand, share and live their faith each and every day.
At Alter High School we have a proud tradition of excellence; both inside and outside the classroom. We are preserved with pride
for the accomplishments of the past as well as the present. We continue
to look to the future for ways we can continue to promote excellence in
all we do at Alter High School. See for yourself that we have much for
which to be proud. You will be hard-pressed to
find an academic experience to rival that which is afforded to the
students of Archbishop Alter High School. Athletically, we have
attained great successes on the fields and courts of play. Although we
are proud of the achievements of our students and alumni, we strive to
improve each and every day to ensure that our tradition of excellence
will continue to thrive.
With faith, pride and excellence, however, comes spirit. Archbishop Alter High School is sustained by spirit
in many ways. The spirit of community at Alter is palpable. It is felt
in our classrooms, by our parent volunteers, in our alumni, but,
perhaps most importantly, by those who are merely witnesses to the
Alter community in action. Our student body exudes spirit at pep
rallies, at sporting events, even at service activities but somehow
manages to do so in a way that also shows great sportsmanship and
support for their peers. In perhaps the most humbling manifestation of
the Alter spirit there is, the spirit of giving is alive and well at
Alter High School. W constantly marvel at how the Alter community gives
of their time, talents and finances and never stops to say "what's in
it for me?"
Archbishop Alter High School is an incredible school.
Thank you for taking the time to see what we are all about. We hope that
if you have not already done so, that you will take the time to see for
yourself what the Alter community is all about.
May God Bless You!
