Alliance City Schools will be closed on Monday, April 8th for the Solar Eclipse.
After consulting with the Stark County Emergency Management Agency and the Stark County Education Service Center, we have determined that it is in the best interests of our students, staff, and families to close school due to the anticipated number of people that will visit Stark County to view the Eclipse. Additional information for Aviator Families is available on ParentSquare. #RepthatA
