News from the Principal's Office
A&M Consolidated High School
News from Elder's Desk
I hope you had a restful Spring Break and ready to conclude the year with your best foot forward. We will not coast or wish the time away, but support each other and take advantage of the opportunity to be difference makers every day. We will continue strengthening our relationships with each other, our students and parents, and the community. Furthermore, our lessons will be engaging, relevant, and rigorous, and we will have high expectations for ALL. There are consequences for students who choose to misbehave, and we will not waiver from the expectations that we have established at AMCHS. There is no doubt that we will have challenges, but those challenges bring opportunity --we will be great and model the attitudes and behaviors we want to be repeated.
AMCHS is a cut above and will prepare for a remarkable finish!
