Arabia Mountain High School is proud to announce its recognition as a recipient of the 2024 College Success Award, an honor bestowed by the nonprofit organization GreatSchools. This national award celebrates public high schools that excel in preparing students for college enrollment and success in higher education.

Arabia Mountain High School is one of five schools in the DeKalb County School District (DCSD) to receive this prestigious distinction.

The College Success Award acknowledges schools that effectively support students through the college enrollment process and encourage their continued education, particularly for students from low-income backgrounds. Arabia Mountain High School has received this distinct honor of receiving this award for the sixth time, underscoring their consistent commitment to excellence.

GreatSchools’ College Readiness Rating, which determines award recipients, evaluates key metrics such as graduation rates, performance on college entrance exams (SAT/ACT), participation in advanced coursework like AP, IB, and dual enrollment, and AP exam passing rates. These measures ensure that schools recognized with this award truly excel in preparing students for academic and professional success.

This achievement reflects the collaborative efforts of the Ram Nation in blazing a trail toward academic excellence and beyond.

Congratulations to the students, faculty, staff, and families who made this remarkable honor possible! (Click Here for more information)

Last week, we conducted several tardy sweeps to address students' lack of urgency in getting to class on time. Timeliness is essential for student success and for maintaining a positive learning environment. We encourage you to speak with your student about the importance of being punctual to all classes. Please note that we will continue conducting random tardy sweeps.

Chronic tardiness is a violation of the DCSD School Choice Attendance Policy and may result in disciplinary action, including the potential removal of your student from the academic program at Arabia Mountain High School. We greatly appreciate your support in reinforcing this important expectation with your student.

On the last Friday of each month, AMHS students earn a Spirit Day when they are able to follow school rules; for example get to class on time, dress in the AMHS Uniform, pick up after themselves in the cafeteria, etc.. Spirit Days are a privilege and not a right. Students can wear black or blue jeans (no holes, rips or tears and no sweatpants or leggings) with a Spirit Shirt to school on Spirit Days. In an effort to promote school spirit and have more students participate in our Spirit Days, we will be selling Spirit Shirts during lunches this week. Parents are welcome to purchase shirts as well. The cost of each shirt is $20 and payments can be made in cash only. Students who choose not to wear a Spirit Shirt with school appropriate jeans should wear their school uniform to school.

Parents can connect to our new learning management system, Canvas. To access your student's Canvas account, you must first create an account and log in through a desktop or laptop device. Below is a tutorial link to help walk you through the process of gaining parental access. 💡Once connected, parents are able to view their student's courses. This will help you to view your student's course material and help them to meet deadlines.
