This school has an outstanding sports program! The teachers who take the additional time to coach their sports teams make it very clear this staff develops meaningful relationships with their students and families. Being a newer school, there have been growing pains with turnover in staff transferring to new AMS campuses, but the school staff does an amazing job at taking the time with me whenever I have a concern about my child's performance in school.

AMS Camelback is dedicated to the safety and learning of all students. The rigorous academics allows students to gain a higher level of achievement in order to succeed in a global economy. Students are better prepared for higher learning and advanced in mathematics. I am confident that student focus encompasses the whole child as music and the arts is also offered as well as STEM. The AMS staff are in a partnership with community stakeholders to ensure success of all students. I am honored to work with such dedicated teachers and administrators and I am looking forward to the continued growth. Close Quote

As someone who has transitioned from a teacher to a school leader at AMS Camelback, I can confidently say that the school, the network, and all stakeholders are committed to providing all of our kids a high-quality education. Working with fellow leaders within the network, I have realized just how open and receptive we are to feedback in order to grow stronger. Each year, we focus our efforts on creating the best possible experience for our students, families, teachers, and staff within our halls and classrooms.

We are committed to reflecting constantly upon the work that we do that is necessary to give all students the opportunity to succeed. I am proud to be a part of a network that recognizes there are challenges in our line of work and responds to them by planning purposely and working relentlessly to overcome them. Close Quote
