News from the Principal's Office
A&M Consolidated High School
News from Elder's Desk
I hope you had a relaxing weekend. If you administered the EOC test last week, thank you for providing such a positive environment for our students. Moreover, thank you to Amiee for her leadership, organization, expertise, and her ability to resolve problems gracefully. I also appreciate Katelyn Gentry and the teachers who provided support for SAT School Day and for Michelle Jedlicka's leadership and the other teachers who proctored the practice AP exams. Overall, testing went well, and we did not have any irregularities.
As we work through the last six weeks of school, let me challenge each of you to be that teacher that students are eager to arrive in your classroom because of the impact that you have made. Be committed to finishing the school year as if school started tomorrow-On Fire! Continue to inspire and touch the hearts and minds of our students, integrate relevant practices, have high expectations, and hold ALL students accountable.
Be Driven by Your Purpose--together we will finish strong!
