A&M Consolidated High School
Reflections from Elder's Desk
Thank you for paving the way to a successful first six weeks of school. Our freshmen and new students have begun to adjust to our campus expectations and our upperclassmen have been positive role models in our campus community. Though each week brings new challenges to withstand or succumb to, at AMCHS we will address these issues head-on.
As we prepare for the second six weeks of school, we cannot become complacent to what we have accomplished, but we must continue challenging our students and each other to be the best educator possible. Clearly, it does not take much effort to stay in our “comfort zone," but we must have a willingness to stretch beyond the places we could ever imagine.
We will walk in our calling and be Driven by Purpose at AMCHS!
