Our Mission

At Amherst County High School, our mission is to focus on more than academics, by creating engaged citizens, promoting community pride, and developing essential workforce skills.

Check out the Quarter 3 edition of the APCS Literacy Links, Math Moments and Language Lens Newsletters! In literacy this quarter we are focusing providing updates for how you can support your student at home based on the lastest news in reading research. For math, the newsletter contains ideas for promoting math fun at home.  Are you looking for more resources for helping your child with reading at home? These newsletters, as well as other resources to support your child's literacy development, are available on our ACPS webpage under "Parent and Family Literacy Links." https://bit.ly/3C8raeg
