Amundsen High School Home

Amundsen and its partners will be offering workshops this summer for rising seniors in order to help them prepare for the college admissions process. Please see the attached flyer for details. This is a great opportunity to "get your stuff done" and minimize your senior stress! Please contact Ms. Maldonado with questions!

Show your Viking pride neighborhood-wide -- in your yard, in your window, or on your balcony! Signs are $10 each and available for local pickup.

Want one? Email [email protected] to arrange pickup and payment (cash or credit card at pickup). GO VIKINGS!

One of the best moments from Raise the Sails was receiving a $25,000 School All-Star Grant from our generous neighbor and supporter, Cubs Charities. Cubs Assistant Director of Government and Community Affairs Heather Way Kitzes presented the jumbo check to Amundsen Principal Anna Pavichevich at the DANK Haus, giving us even more to celebrate that night. A portion of the funds will support Amundsen’s new batting cages, and the rest will support educational programs for all Amundsen students. Thank you, Cubs Charities, for your ongoing support of Amundsen–it makes a huge difference for our students and our entire school community.
GO CUBBIES! GO VIKINGS!

Amundsen's String Ambassadors, under the direction of AHS Orchestra teacher, Mr. Sean Reidy, recently helped to launch yet another orchestra mentoring program at McPherson Elementary School. This partnership builds on an existing partnership with Chappell Elementary, where an autonomous group of of 12 Viking String Ambassadors regularly teaches strings to Chappell students. We appreciate the support of A440 Violins, the Friends of McPherson, the Friends of Amundsen, the Nagaunee Institute, and the Civic Orchestra of the CSO, for their support of the neighborhood school music programs that make these partnerships possible.
