EspañolALAMO HEIGHTS HIGH SCHOOL
'Alamo Heights High School' is a secondary school located in the city of Alamo Heights, Texas and is the only high school in the Alamo Heights Independent School District.
The district includes three "island cities" (surrounded by but not a part of San Antonio), including all of Alamo Heights, parts of Terrell Hills and all of Olmos Park. The district also includes a small part of north central San Antonio. The school's mascot is the mule.
The two-story school building is divided into four halls: Main, South, Central and North. Main provides access to the attendance and principal's offices, the library, the auditorium and a few classrooms. North contains the mathematics and history departments. Central is occupied by the science department, as well as the nurse's and counselors' offices. South contains the English and foreign languages departments. The school's main sitting area is outside between North and Central. This area is called "The Oaks" after its many oak trees. The Oaks Building is located across The Oaks from the main building. It contains two art rooms, the language laboratory, which contains computers with headsets for use with recorded language teaching materials and a multi-purpose room. The auditorium is located north of the North Wing, with the band hall north of the auditorium.
The school has several sports facilities, the most visible of which is Harry B. Orem Stadium, used for football and soccer games. The stadium contains a track and there is also a practice field for these sports. The school's main facility for basketball and volleyball games is the Mule Dome. There is also a practice gymnasium for basketball. The school has full pool facilities for swimming, diving and water polo. The school's baseball field is located in the city's Olmos Basin.
Recently, the school has undergone major construction, including renovation of the auditorium and the addition of a two story science building.
