"[AMHS] received formal recognition [from CCSD] for every indicator on our Academic Magnet High School SC State Report Card including our Graduation Rate, our Preparing for Student Success Metric, our Academic Achievement, our College and Career Readiness, our School Climate, and our Overall Excellent Rating on the 2022-23 SC State Report Card. Each of these accolades represents a remarkable system wide school success."
"This is a time of year when we begin to spend evenings in the annual recruiting circuit, and my favorite part about speaking with the students, parents, and teachers of prospective students in our community is explaining just why this school is such a special place - with the awards or without them. [Prospective Student Presentation]"
"With the first college application deadlines approaching, our busy counselors asked that I share their gratitude for the many, many, many thoughtful college recommendations that our faculty have written and will write on behalf of our students. Even with a practiced hand and an awesome student subject, we all appreciate the time commitment that these recommendations require."
"...I want to also take a moment to publicly thank Mr. Knauer for the current state of our AMHS athletic department including communicating so reliably and positively about our special Raptor athletic teams and student athletes."
- Mr. Perlmutter
