American High School

Call me crazy if I have fallen in love with everything about this school. I came to this school thinking..."hmm, this looks like some scary, congested bee's nest." Later did I find out that it wasn't the constant rush that determined how the school was, it was simply THE PEOPLE. A diverse conglomeration of students, this school preaches unity. It has the school spirit that makes one zest their eyes for competition, and the education that splurges the contexts of our state's standards and our school's mission statement: ACADEMICS, BEHAVIOR, and COMMUNITY, in the best way possible--aid in moderation. Like any school, we have our share of fights, but I have never witnessed one, neither have I heard of more then 5 fights in my three years here. We are at a dearth of funding, making our morning home somewhat hard to malinger in, but we enjoy it all, always finding a way around it. We are always progressing, and our clubs and arts implore great talent in the diverse layouts that blend in the layers of our acceptance of all colors. This is one reason for creativity and balance throughout the ABCs. For example, managing AP/H/College-Prep classes with extracurriculars, & other practices.

American High is a GREAT school. Not the best in the district but, still it's one school that stands out. It has a diverse amount of students all from different cultures. American is a great place to enroll your student! GO EAGLES KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! The teachers are very helpful so is the principle!

I think American High is an okay school in Fremont Unified School district! The teachers are helpful! Every day American is helping students succeed!! Go AMERICAN EAGLES!!!

American High School is one of the most diverse schools I've ever seen. The administration is doing its part and so are the teachers. Most of the students are very funny and make being at American a great atmosphere. The School spirit is great for the most part, however, the school is at a great loss because of the district's failure to help out. This school could be great if it was a little more funded. All high schools in Fremont have two gyms and two cafeterias, American has one gym and two cafeterias. In other ways American is in no competition to other schools because of the underfunding. Students all around Fremont look to American as one of the worst schools because it's the only school that does not have off-campus lunch. The district should really help out.

American is a great student environment. It has a great feel and school spirit is all around you. I'm a junior at American and can only describe my experience as memorable. I love my school, and would never change it. The fact that it's indoors is amazing. It also sets it apart from all the other schools. While the other schools are freezing or burning, American stays at a constant temperature. The sports teams are great and really spririted. But what really separates American from the other schools in FUSD is its theater and performing arts. The plays are always AMAZING. And the musicals are nothing short of extraordinary.

Aamerican is a decent school, if not great. Academics are pretty good and it is a place where you could be yourself, unlike Mission. Atheletics, especially football, could use some help. American needs to inject a winning attitude in its athletes. Overall, I think American is an underatted high school and I love it here.

I really appreciate that the councilors of each Levels communicate with parents if necessary. Also appreciate recording voice messages on events that takes place. Makes our scheduling easier.

Although we are just beginning our second month of school, I am seeing a complete turnaround at AHS. The new principal has started the year bringing back high spirits and excitement for the students. I am so grateful that my children are still here to see it-their Jr. and Sr. years. The teachers show that they care about these kids, it has just been such a nice feeling when being asound the school. I just hope that I haven't spoken too soon and that this comfort stays!
