Amundsen High School Home

We are excited to announce that on August 29th from 6pm to 7:30pm, Amundsen High School will welcome dynamic speaker Dino Ambrosi, founder of Project Reboot to the AHS Auditorium. Mr. Ambrosi will present a parent workshop, Keys to Building a Tech Healthy Household, in the school auditorium. All are welcome. See the attached flyer for more details. We look forward to seeing you there!

This fall the Viking Theatre Company presents Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl. This show reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story. Auditions begin September 3rd in the Auditorium. Performances are October 17th through 19th. See flyer and the VTC Google Classroom for more details!

Dear Amundsen Staff and Families,

I hope that the school year is off to a positive start for you and your students.

Today, I am writing to provide an important update regarding the leadership of our girls' volleyball team. Effective immediately, Coach Amy Jacobson is no longer part of the athletic program at Amundsen.

Our athletic directors and school administration are fully committed to ensuring a smooth and successful transition as we seek the best possible candidate to lead our team. We are actively conducting a thorough search for a new head coach who will uphold the high standards of our program and support the continued development of our athletes. In the meantime, Ms. Raquel Acosta, our school’s P.E. teacher, will be stepping up as interim girls varsity volleyball coach.

Our focus remains maintaining the integrity of our program and providing a positive experience for all of our student athletes. If you have any questions regarding this change, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Sincerely,

Principal Eilers


Estimadas familias y personal de Amundsen:

Espero que el año escolar esté comenzando positivamente para ustedes y sus estudiantes.

Hoy les escribo para darles una actualización importante sobre el liderazgo de nuestro equipo de voleibol femenino. A partir de ahora, la entrenadora Amy Jacobson no formará parte del programa académico de Amundsen.

Nuestros directores atléticos y administración escolar están completamente comprometidos con asegurar una transición fluida y exitosa a medida que buscamos la mejor persona para dirigir a nuestro equipo. Actualmente buscamos detenidamente un nuevo entrenador principal que mantenga los altos estándares de nuestro programa y apoye el desarrollo continuo de nuestros atletas. Mientras tanto, Raquel Acosta, nuestra maestra de educación física, pasará a ser la entrenadora de voleibol femenino interina.

Nuestro enfoque permanece siendo el mantenimiento de la integridad de nuestro programa y darles una experiencia positiva a todos nuestros estudiantes atletas. De tener alguna pregunta sobre este cambio, favor contactarme directamente.

Atentamente,

Directora Eilers
