Bragging is never a becoming quality, but I’m really proud and would like to share why.  I promise to keep it brief.

After examining over 21,000 public high schools across the country, U.S. News & World Report ranked Academic Magnet High School - my high school! - as #9 in the nation.

As an alumna of AMHS, or “Magnet,” as it’s usually called in Charleston, I’m so proud to see our tradition of excellence in education continue.  Thanks to Magnet, I was more than prepared for college when I walked across the stage to get my diploma in June 2000.  (I’m sure the other 87 members of my graduating class feel the same way.)

Long story short, Academic Magnet High School is it.  I’m so proud.  Go Raptors!
