✈ Lisa Buehman ✈
Position: LRC
School: Alliance Middle School
Graduation Year: 2004
Years at ACS: 4

Favorite Memory:
"I loved the musicals we did at AHS. They were always the best!"

Influential Staff Member:
"Ms. Sally Ailes was such a wonderful person and had a passion for the Spanish language and education in general. She made learning fun and challenging."

Choosing to work for ACS:
"I want the students to know that people in their community can be and are successful! That being raised in a low-income family doesn't determine your value or your chance to be successful."

Importance of giving back:
"It's important to me to invest in the community that was so important to my education and upbringing. I had so many wonderful teachers and I hope to be that same person for someone else."

Ms. Buehman's story is a reminder that every student deserves someone who believes in them, and she is proud to be that person for our Aviators. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

Alliance Middle School held its annual Staff vs. Student Volleyball Game, and it was full of energy, excitement, and plenty of friendly competition! 🏐 Both teams played well, but this year the staff came out on top. Great job to everyone who participated and cheered them on! ✈ #RepthatA

✈ Janelle Jones ✈

"I'm thankful to be an Aviator because it allows me to work with amazing students and staff every day, as well as be close to home so that I can be involved with my family and my kids’ sports. I used to drive almost an hour each way to work and working 7 minutes from home is a huge blessing!!" ❤️ #RepthatA

✈ Officer Tye Lauener ✈
Position: School Resource Officer
School: Alliance Middle School
Graduation Year: 2003
Years at ACS: 2

Favorite Memory:
"Looking back, my favorite memories are the times I got to spend with classmates who became lifelong friends."

Influential Staff Member:
"Mr. King is the one who sticks out the most because he made sure I came to school and kept me out of trouble."

Choosing to work for ACS:
"I've worked for Alliance Police Department in the patrol division for 10 years. When they decided to expand the SRO program, I jumped at the chance because I thought I could make a bigger difference in the community from there. I love building trust and relationships with the kids in hopes of showing them that we are people like everyone else."

Importance of giving back:
"Serving in the same community where I grew up allows me to give back to the people and places that helped shape who I am. I feel a responsibility to make sure students here feel supported, safe, and proud of their school, just like I did."

Officer Lauener’s commitment to supporting students and building trust shows what it truly means to give back to the community that raised you. 🩵❤️ #RepthatA

The Alliance Board of Education recognized five incredible Aviators at last night’s meeting!

Allyssa Schaffert (6th), Jonathan Ferrall (5th), Katie Carpenter (4th), and Daniel Clark (4th) were honored for earning the highest possible score on the 2024–25 Ohio State Math Tests. This is no easy feat, and these four Aviators impressed everyone with their outstanding achievement and academic excellence!

Lincoln Smith, a 4th grader, was also recognized for his artistic talent after winning the Most Creative Design Award in the Stark County Safety Poster Contest.

Each student and their family were invited to the meeting to celebrate these amazing accomplishments. We are so proud of our young Aviators! ✈ #RepthatA

Builders Club students at Alliance Middle School invited veteran Brett Douthitt to speak with them about what it means to be a veteran, what jobs are available in the armed forces, and his experience in the U.S. Army. Thank you, Mr. Douthitt, for stopping by to speak with our Aviators! #RepthatA

✈ Charlie Hoopes ✈

"I am thankful to be an Aviator because people support me in what I do and encourage me. It gives me a healthy and positive environment and there are inspiring role models for me to look up to." ❤️ #RepthatA

It’s the season to be thankful! We are so grateful for all of our amazing students and staff, and we also wanted to hear why they are thankful to be Alliance Aviators. Follow along as we lead up to Thanksgiving to hear their answers! ❤️

✈ Autumn Wineman ✈

"Being an Aviator means being an important part of our school district and being heard. I'm thankful to be an Aviator because I know that I matter to people. We all can achieve great things at this school thanks to the support we get from staff and students."

The students in Jason Powers' health classes at Alliance Middle School completed a body systems t-shirt project! They learned about their organs by drawing them on a white t-shirt. This allowed students to see the placement of their organs in a creative way. Way to go, AMS Aviators! #RepthatA

Alliance City Schools recently held the 3rd Annual Futures Fest! ✈ The event is an evening full of career exploration that supports the district’s vision of preparing all Aviators for Life, College, and Careers.

The event featured a job fair with more than 70 vendors, including employers, colleges, and branches of the military. Students, families, and community members were able to stop by to talk with vendors and gather information about future careers, schooling, and opportunities. The evening also included a career fashion show featuring middle school students.

Futures Fest offers activities each year for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. This year, elementary students read about possible careers and filled out activity sheets about what they want to be when they grow up. #RepthatA

7th and 8th graders in Matt Horning’s Career Explorations class at Alliance Middle School designed an amusement park as a culminating activity at the end of the first nine weeks. The students first learned about possible careers in Arts and Media, Architecture and Construction, and Information Technology. They filled out a short application and were hired for one of eight different jobs.
Students from four different classes worked together to design and construct their Galaxy Adventure Amusement Park. They agreed the biggest challenges were communication between classes, or “work shifts,” and meeting deadlines. 🎠🎢
Great job, Aviators! #RepthatA
