Welcome, Class of 2026 and Families!
We are happy to partner with you to make Senior Year special! The list below is provided as a courtesy by the PTSO; payments are not collected by PTSO nor does the PTSO profit from sales (unless noted).
Step 1: Pay Class Dues
Dues are required to be paid in order to be eiligible for a parking pass, prom tickets, and graduation tickets. Students who have not paid their Class Dues will not be able to purchase prom tickets. These dues are set by the Class Council and collected online by Crofton High School (not the PTSO) and used to fund prom, graduation, cookout after graduation practice, & more. Thank you!
PTSO Class of 2026 Committee
Senior year is almost here, and we need your help to make it unforgettable! From Senior Sunrise & Sunset to fundraisers, senior walks, after-prom, and more—there’s an event for everyone. Join our planning team and sign up for a committee to help shape these amazing moments.
Sign up below to join an event committee!
From Class Advisor Ms. Dehn
The second senior meeting will be during first period on Wednesday, November 5th (9:20 AM). We will be discussing our final large-scale fundraiser and there will be reminders about other senior year items including caps & gowns, senior portraits, and class dues. After the meeting, we will be taking the senior panoramic picture.
A note about class dues: the Online School Payment (OSP) portal will not tell you whether or not you have paid class dues. If you are unsure, please reach out to Ms. Dehn (sdehn@aacps.org), as she has a complete record of payments.
