News from the Principal's Office
A&M Consolidated High School
News from Elder's Desk
I hope you had a spirit-filled Easter holiday!
Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting with six former students, four of whom stopped by my office to say hello. It was a joy to listen to them reminiscing about the good old days of high school, and the impact AMCHS had on their lives. We are the foundation of a top-notch education at AMCHS, and we have the ability to nurture the talents and enthusiasm in every child we meet.
Thank you for all you do to make coming to work such a pleasure for all of us who are privileged to work here. For some of our students, this is the last time that we will be able to reach them at this level. Our actions must mimic our expectations---let's take it to another level and have a successful end.
