News & Announcements

You could hang out at the beach but why not apply to an enrichment program? Enrichment opportunities are offered by universities, foundations, government offices, and businesses. They allow students to learn new skills and to discover future careers. Students can do STEM internships, work for a public official, and take early college classes. Many enrichment programs are free and others provide scholarships. Some programs are local, and others involve travel. Amundsen provides help and support to students applying to these opportunities through scheduled info sessions and by providing a regularly updated list of opportunities that is linked to the AHS website (top right-hand corner). All students are encouraged to apply to these programs and to check out the AHS calendar for the dates of upcoming information sessions.
