Principal's Message
Hello AMS family! I hope you all have had a relaxing and fun-filled summer. With the new school year approaching, I would like to introduce myself and share some important information for the 2022-2023 school year. My name is Emily Harris, and I have the honor of being your principal. My husband and I are from Decatur; we are proud graduates of Decatur City Schools! Our older daughter, Katherine, is a 9th grader at AJHS, and our younger daughter, Caroline, is a 7th grader at AMS. I look forward to working with our students, faculty, staff, and community as we work to build bridges and reach our goals! I encourage you to reach out to our administration with any questions or concerns!
