Amundsen High School Home

Welcome International Visitors!

Amundsen High School would like to extend a warm Viking welcome to the students and teachers visiting us this week from IES Pedro Jiménez Montoya in Baza, Granada, Spain, who are our partners in an international cultural and educational exchange that is now in its third year.  The Baza school hosted a group of 12 AHS students for a wonderful experience in October 2025 and we are thrilled to welcome our friends to Amundsen once again.
