  • Any student interested in participating in the Black College Tour over April Break, please contact Ms. Custard (room 307) for an application as soon as possible. This week long tour is sponsored by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center in Springfield. 
  • On Thursday, December 20th, students are invited to gather in Room 169 from 2:30-3:30pm to discuss recent anti-Semitic events that have occurred in Amherst and in the world and they will  have an opportunity to share their thoughts and concerns.  School and district administrators, School counseling staff, and Rabbi Benjamin Weiner from the JCA will be present for this student-led discussion.
  • The Outing Club will be offering hot drinks for your cold morning this Thursday. Hot cocoa, cider or tea, only a dollar, and you can find out more about our winter backpacking program! Look for the table in front of the school, or at lunch, or come after school to room 225 for more information.
  • All of last year's ceramic work will be given away when we return from break. Even work from AR[T]HS! Please come check if you have anything left on the cart
  • The French club is proud to announce that we will be starting our first ever book drive for elementary school students in Dakar, Senegal this week. Please consider bringing in any children's books (in French or English) you may have lying around, or any extra general school supplies you may have. Collection boxes can be found around the school. Contact Jamie Simonson or Madame Cissé for any questions. Also, thank you so much to all who supported the French/Francophone Dinner. It was a great success. Merci!
  • ATTENTION SENIORS WHO APPLIED EARLY ACTION OR EARLY DECISION 

    Most of you will be receiving decisions for your early applications soon.  Be sure to update the outcome(s) in Naviance, as well inform either Ms. Garrity in the Guidance Office or Mrs. Tracy in room 309.  If you were accepted at an ED school or an EA school you plan to attend, please delete all other applications in your Naviance account.  If you were deferred on denied and need some guidance about your next step, make an appointment to see Mrs. Ross or your counselor for help.  Also, be sure to add all other schools to which you will be applying and that have January 1 deadlines in Naviance by December 19.  Don't forget to also request transcripts be sent to each, and to list those schools, if applicable, in your Common Application.
