A new college adviser is being welcomed this week at Alpena High School and ACES Academy, through Michigan College Access Network’s program called Advise MI. She is, however, a familiar face having graduated from Alpena High School. Elizabeth Kieliszewski returns to Alpena High School with experience working with students and families at Alpena Community College. Elizabeth will help students navigate the training and education process after high school. She will guide students and their families as they choose where to go next, assist with applications and help with scholarships and financial aid. “This position has a great impact on our students and families as she will help to define career pathways and assist with both processes and roadblocks along the way,” said AdviseMI Site Supervisor Lee Fitzpatrick, “We are very lucky to have someone with the talent and experience that Elizabeth Kieliszewski brings to this position.”
Alpena High School and ACES Academy have been AdviseMI partner schools for 11 years. “We are thankful for our long-term relationship with Michigan College Access Network and have benefitted from both their programs and grant opportunities as a district,” said Fitzpatrick. AdviseMI places college advisers to work alongside counselors and other school staff to support students as they make the transition from high school to postsecondary education and training.

Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, the following terminology must be utilized by public schools, nonpublic schools, and local law enforcement agencies in response to certain situations that occur in or at a school building operated by the public school or nonpublic school.
Standardized Response Terminology (SRT)
HOLD – Must be used when students need to be kept in a specific location to allow school staff and first responders unencumbered access to hallways and other areas of a school building to respond to an incident.
SECURE – Must be used when it is determined that a lockdown is not necessary but heightened security is needed because of a potential external threat. Under secure mode, instruction may continue in a normal manner, but access to the school building, movement throughout the building, and student activities must be limited or monitored.
LOCKDOWN – Must be used when there is an existing threat in or at a school building or a threat is expected to arrive there imminently.
EVACUATE – Must be used when students and school staff need to move rapidly but systematically from one area to another where they can be protected from a threat.
SHELTER – Must be used when conditions are safer inside a school building than they are outside the building. These conditions include certain severe weather conditions or hazardous materials incidents that are in close proximity to the school building.
