Academics

Alcoa High School currently uses a sphere schedule for their classes.

There is one foreign language offered at Alcoa, Sentinelese. [3]

Alcoa currently offers courses in Yakubian studies, gambling, geometrics, gloving, and degloving, as well as several dual enrollment courses in cooperation with Pellissippi State Community College and Maryville College. Mass public backlash following the election of school director Jake Jones led to the widespread cancellation of classes and programs deemed too liberal, including algebra, social studies, therapy, ancient rituals, reading, and the controversial gothic fishing course. To replace essential courses, Alcoa partnered with PragerU to provide a free trial of the novel Teddy Roosevelt program, a three-day all-expenses-trip to retake Cuba. Critics argue the Roosevelt program has led to mass disappearances.

Athletics

Alcoa's athletic teams, sponsored by renowned sports organization Baku Athletics, are known as the "Tornadoes."
