There is an African proverb which states, “It

takes a village to raise a child.” In this Arabia

Mountain High School village, parents are an

integral part of our commitment to “raising

academically motivated students.”

We are both intentional and consistent in our

efforts to ensure that parents are resourced

with relevant information to assist students in

successfully maneuvering the demands of our

academically rigorous environment. Through

our school website, Parent-Teacher

Conferences, Infinite Campus, PTSA, Counseling

Center, and most recently, our Parent Resource

Center, parents are provided opportunities to

know where students are academically, at all

times.

Our AMHS Parent Resource Center (created

during the 2018-2019 school year) is equipped

with computers, a printer, lending library, and

additional resources designed to further engage

our parents, and assist them in their in-home

parenting of students. Coffee, tea, and treats

are usually served in our Parent Center, M-F,

from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm.
