Quote of the Day

I was taught that the world had a lot of problems; that I could struggle and change them; that intellectual and material gifts brought the privilege and responsibility of sharing with others less fortunate; and that service is the rent each of us pays for living — the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time or after you have reached your personal goals.
~ Marian Wright Edelman

ALL ABOUT AMHS

The goal of August Martin is to bring educational access and opportunity to all of our students. It is our belief that our learning community allows us to build on skills and academic content that engage our students in interdisciplinary learning experiences. This journey will prepare them for college and create a desire to become a lifelong learner.

ü Our 5 Academies Aviation and Technology, Communication Arts, Culinary Arts, Legal Studies, and Medical Technology engage students in curriculum relevant to their lives. These experiences allow them to be college and career ready.

ü Our various partnerships allow us to engage the community in the educational journey of the school. These partnerships enhance our curriculum. Our authentic relationships provide support for families in our community, allowing the school to become a core feature of the community it serves.

ü The Advisory program supports the growth of our students. The Advisors serve as student-advocates and family liaisons. Through Advisory, students take responsibility for their own learning and personal growth.

Community Outreach

As the Community Based Organization (CBO) coordinator at AMHS, I am proud of the fact that our CBO's have made strides in addressing many of the student's needs (social as well as academic). Many of our CBO's have "joined forces" to provide our student's with additional support as they forge ahead in their development into adulthood. Whether it's working on Sunday's and above and beyond their program scope, our CBO's are quite simply the best.
