As an enrolled senior at Amsterdam High School, I enjoy the diverse aspects of the staff and students around me. My high school allows students to express themselves and this is because every day I see students be who they want to be. My overall experience at Amsterdam High School was very heartfelt and I will miss the welcoming environment the most. As a student-athlete, I was able to fit in and make friends very easily with the help of my teachers and teammates.

I have always went to Amsterdam school ever since Kindergarten. The people that I have met in Kindergarten, I still am friends with them to this day. The teachers that work there are more than just teachers, they become part of your life and sometimes even your best friend and the only person you can talk to when you feel like you have nobody. Two of my teachers from 3rd grade and 5th grade I still look up to and they have been an inspiration to me ever since. My experience at The high school has been great, I have gotten the help I needed when I needed it and even though I don’t have many friends there, I do know for sure that if I ever needed help that whole school would have my back. If I could go to Amsterdam High school for more than One year and have more time there, i would. When teachers and staff say “Time flies by and make sure to take it all in before it is over” listen to them. There is no re-doing it.

the staff is terrible, not that many kids graduate, nobody is held accountable. Nobody wants to come to school because they don't feel safe, our food is nasty.
