Our Metlakatla High School Theater Class will perform their next production "8 Minutes Left" THIS Thursday & Friday!

When: Thursday May 14th & Friday May 15th
Time: 6:00 pm
Where: Metlakatla High School
Adults $10 | Students $5 | Elders & Children Under 2 Free

Please note: This production contains language and content that may not be appropriate for children under 13.

About "8 Minutes Left":
The world is coming to an end at exactly 4:44 PM today, and no one has had any time to prepare. 8 Minutes Left follows the residents of Charlesville, NJ as they navigate their final moments on this Earth – from a couple with a bunker in their backyard who can’t quite figure out how to get in, to two elderly frenemies who fight over their favorite park bench, to a pair of theater employees debating the ethics of theft at the end of the world, this thoughtful and keenly observed play manages to find the intimate humor of humans in crisis.

We've got one more celebration today! 🎉

There isn't a nationally recognized Superintendent Appreciation Day, so we have decided to make one! Today, May 6th, is now the AISD Superintendent Appreciation Day, which also happens to fall on Mr. Lindsey's birthday!

Our community is truly fortunate to have such an exceptional leader guiding our district. Taw has dedicated more than 20 years of service to the district, growing through a variety of roles—from maintenance, to principal, to Superintendent—demonstrating unwavering commitment and leadership at every step. His deep knowledge of the district’s operations, combined with his tireless work ethic, ensures that AISD consistently provides the highest quality education for our students.
Under his leadership, a culture of positivity, collaboration, and innovation has flourished, strengthening both our schools and our community. We are sincerely grateful for Taw’s dedication, integrity, and the care he brings to his role each day.

Please join us in celebrating Mr. Lindsey! 🎉
