Raptor Report

September 9, 2026

from AMHS Partners in Education (PIE)

The school year has just started, but Academic Magnet students are already showing their enthusiasm for being active and engaged with the school community - and well beyond.

Juniors James Malm, center in the photo above, and Dora Wang have served over the past eight months as fellows with the New Voters 250 Organization. The national nonprofit focused on empowering youth through voter registration drives.

Welcome to our new Talon team! These journalists will be putting together the campus paper under the leadership of Mrs. Grayson.
