somethin I enjoy about Amphi is the students and teachers. I love the around of friends I've made due to sports. its really easy and fun to make friends through sports. you both have something in common so its easier to make friend's. and I've learned so much from the teachers here. they are a great help when needed. overall I like Amphi.

What I like about my high school is the teachers because they are understanding people who allow you to take your time on assignments if needed. They can be your friends and are more than willing to aid you on anything you put your mind to.

When I attended the library was always a good place to be to either study or to catch up on school work. The school itself was a large school for being a high school so there were many places to hang out with friends and talk. The facility were always nice and able to help students to make sure they were able to graduate on time.

My daughter received a concussion and her teachers and the staff went above and beyond to help her get back on track and not fall behind. Go panthers!

So many things awful about amphi high, for one bullying here is ok or at least ignored by all staff including teachers here. Another awful thing someone needs a legit reason just to see THERE OWN COUNSELOR. If your considering attending amphi or your child then please DON'T.
