Student Parking:
11th and 12th graders who will be driving to school should secure a parking spot by paying the student parking fee in RevTrak. We will issue parking spots on a first come, first serve basis this week. Students can select a specific parking spot and collect their required parking stickers when they come to school for textbook and schedule pick-up next week.
After we verify that a student has paid the parking fee in Revtrak, and has completed their residency verification, we will issue a numbered parking spot.
This will be done in Room 7108 (Ms. Knox’s office) from 9am-3pm Monday-Thursday, August 7-10.

Wednesday, August 23 is an A day.

Juniors and Seniors!
The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) is providing funding for one administration of either the ACT® or the SAT® to any student in their 3rd or 4th year of high school. The cost of the assessment will be covered by the SCDE and will be administered during a school day. In addition, students can now retake the same test one time during their 4th year of high school (whichever test they took in the spring of 2023).
AMHS provided the form that you need to fill out to do this with your materials at book pick up. If you need the form again, please email your school counselor. Make sure to note when the forms are due.
