Allied Online School Blog

May 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment

One of the online school blogs that I regularly read is the one for Allied National High School. Called Allied Online School Blog, it offers information both about the school and about online learning in general.

In the latest edition, it talks about their new mascot. They are now the ANHS Surfers. A rather unusual name, to be sure, but I like that they have one now.
