This October, we celebrate National Principals Month and the outstanding leadership team that makes AMS such a special place to learn and grow.

✨ Dr. Knowles – Principal
✨ Mr. Courtney – Vice Principal of Student Affairs
✨ Ms. Hirschmann – Vice Principal of Lower School
✨ Mr. Billups – Vice Principal of Upper School

Our principals do far more than lead—they nurture our school’s mission, guide our students in faith and character, and build a community rooted in excellence and compassion. 💙

Thank you for all you do to make AMS a place where every student can thrive!

A huge thank you to and for the amazing author visit with our 5th & 6th graders.

Thank you, Dan, for creating stories we love and characters we root for.

And thank you for your words of wisdom. We will keep our promise to “be terrible at giving up.”

Hmmmm 🤔
Coyote vs Oscar…

I think there is room in our hearts for both.
