From the Principal

Ken Phillips

It is coincidental that our yearbook is entitled “Sunrise” and each of my days at AUS begins with a beautiful sunrise. As I drive south on the 605 freeway beside the Santa Fe Dam, I look to the east and see some of the most picturesque sunrises I have ever seen. The sharp colorful rays of light that flood the sky, sometimes through filters of cloud make me think of the variety of colorful exhilarating experiences that are my privilege to enjoy each day at AUS. Meeting each morning with the faculty to spend a spiritual moment and pray for specific students gets the day started. Being able to witness to my class of Jesus’ love and power in my life is the highlight of each day. I have been so excited this year to work with a most energetic Home & School Association and see major accomplishments take place to improve our school. Interacting and joking with teachers and office staff is so much fun. Laughter is such an important part of each day in our school. Seeing students happy and laughing about experiences adds spice to each day.As the day goes on I find great pleasure in talking with and responding to parents of our student body. They are so friendly and helpful. Making learning fun in my Science classes is another bright ray of my day. Chapel time each week is special as we fellowship in music and word as a school family.As I drive home on the same 605 freeway I often glance to the west and see the last dimming rays of that same sun that 10 hours earlier began my day and I have happy thoughts of another day at AUS.I hope you have enjoyed this year as much as I have and also pray that you will keep AUS daily in your prayers as we work together to draw closer to Jesus Christ.
