Key Club (Advisor: Ms. Mizrachi) : Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year!  Key Club is back in action and ready to start a fun filled year with dedication to service and unity.  This year we began with wearing ribbons for Domestic Violence Awareness and a schoolwide book drive.  Our Book Drive is being collaborated with an organization called Book Fairies whose mission is to provide books to schools and families in need.  We are currently collecting for our annual Spooky Grams.  We pre-sell cupcakes, candy and haunted boxes.  All proceeds will go to Breast Cancer Awareness.  In November we will be leading a Districtwide Food Drive where we collect food for Island Harvest and create baskets for local families in the District who need a little extra love during the holidays.  Then in December, we will be collecting and donating for Pediatric Cancer.

National Honor Society (Advisors: Ms. Schulken and Ms. Howard): Ms. Howard and I are very excited to be the new co-advisors of NHS!  NHS promotes Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Character in AMHS.  We help provide community services opportunities to our members and the school community.  We are also trying to better promote Peer Tutoring through NHS this year.  Students can look to their peers for additional support and encourage academic success for all AMHS students. –Schulken

NHS is also in all 50 states,territories, and other countries throughout the world! On average, there are about 1 million members worldwide each year, so this is not simply a group of students in our district demonstrating qualities of the four pillars, but an international initiative to improve both the local and global community. –Howard

Students serve as advocates for the student body, meeting with the principal to discuss concerns and hosting our annual Unity Summit. Students develop school spirit events like dances, poetry slams, karaoke,  and talent shows. Students also provide community service by running blood drives, volunteering at the Long Island Homeless Coalition, and raising money for children with cancer through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Hero Squad. 

Tri-M Honor Society (Advisor: Ms. Ferrante): The Tri-M Honor Society, the Ms standing for “Modern Music Masters” strives to  show the importance of music. Working concerts, holding recitals, playing around the school, and more we bring music into our school. It is filled with talented and determined musicians who give their all in everything. Reaching mastery over all, above mastery in their music class, and being active in their musical community, these students have earned their place.
