Back in 2012, Abington Chess won our first place at Nationals in the u1200 division. Coach, Shawn Simmons reflects fondly, "On that cold and rainy weekend in Minneapolis, my favorite memory came in the final round. Ben Kruger asked a tournament director if he could speak to me as his coach. This is a customary thing in the final round of team chess tournaments. Ben said, 'I don't need anything, coach, just wanted you to know we are winning the Championship.' The foundation those guys set for our program keeps us striving for more. This year, we will compete in Orlando in May and hope to bring home our 5th, first-place finish. Go Ghosts!" A great memory for Coach Simmons and his team as well as the entire Abington community! #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #firstinactivities

The Abington Girls Flag Football team would like to thank Ms. Vanassache for recognizing the organization and success of the team for National Women's month.

The students in Mrs. Wolf's Music Tech I class spent several class periods creating their own music videos. Students composed a 2-3 minute piece of original music using LogicPro software. They then uploaded their music to Google Vids, and created visuals using iPad recordings and stock footage. The final step was aligning the visual to the audio and creating the full-length product. The classes celebrated the end of the project by having a class watch party of all the videos, complete with popcorn! #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #firstinthearts

Frau Eichler's AP students participated in a "Weiberfastnacht" celebration, a part of German Karneval tradition in which women get to take over the town hall for the day with the town key and cut off the mayor's and other men's ties. The AP students had their own visit by our Abington "mayor" who graciously allowed the young women to cut off his ties. #AbingtonProud #ASHSProud #firstinacademics
