I love the community of people and teachers. Teachers are willing to help and student in need. When it comes to extra help days, teachers are great a following an extra help schedule. The music program is outstanding! The Chorale, Orchestra and Band do a great job every year between concerts, and playing outside of school. Recently the Chorale had the opportunity of singing in Carnage Hall, and the band and orchestra playing in Disney. Extracurricular in the music department are amazing as well! The chorale has a student lead Capella singing group, and Jazz band for band students. Every year Amherst does great on their operettas. The students and teachers are motivated to work hard and put on difficult yet amazing shows. Not to mention the amazing student lead fall and spring shows as well. Finally there are so many different classes you can take within Amherst High. Between cooking classes, art classes, AP Classes, Amherst has so many different opportunities based on your interests.
