Visitors to AHS sometimes notice the Taco Bell sound that rings to mark the start and end of classes.

On Wed, May 28 through Friday, March 30th the class of 2025 switched it up a bit, with a prank on Wed and a different style on Thursday before the sound of strikes at a bowling alley were the Friday finish.
The sound of someone knocking on either a classroom door or even some of the new windows around school replaced the Taco Bell sound, an effective prank suggested by Haley Engelmore and supported by Dr. Dwulit.
Throughout the day on May 29th, classes started and ended with the Dukes of Hazzard car horn sound:

Reactions ranged from confused, surprised, and annoyed.
Senior Justin Beck said the Thursday sound interrupted two of his finals, Tucker Jeremias said they “were too loud”, and Johnny Smallwood found them annoying. Our own reporter Sally Nalevanko represented most of the responses: “Yesterday (the knocking sounds) was scary, today (Dukes of Hazzard horn) was annoying.”
Behind the scenes, senior Marshall McCall suggested the General Lee’s horn on Thursday before the switch over to a classic bowling sound finished off the bell changes for the class of 2025’s last day.
