About Us
The School Based Enterprises of Alliance Academy has flourished in its short history since the school's opening in 2018. The school stores are sponsored by Mrs. Joan Irwin, the head of the Hospitality & Tourism pathway at Alliance. Decked with beautiful floor to ceiling glass panes, the Heroes Corner apparel store is a common spot for students to stop by and pick up a drink and memorabilia of their choice. With something for every pathway and every Avenger house, the Heroes Corner never fails to excite students with stylish and trendy items of clothing. The latest addition to the School Based Enterprises, the Garage, has become an incredibly popular location for students to hang out during mornings and lunches, providing a multitude of snacks, drinks, and even Alliance apparel! Staffed by the students of the Marketing Principles class, you'll always encounter a new face at both the Heroes Corner and Garage locations. Both locations are constantly changing what they have to offer, with seasonal clothing in Heroes Corner and seasonal snacks in the Garage (like the Peppermint Mochas!). Now, meet our great management team!
