Our JV Lady Raiders won over Rustburg on the road last night with a score of 36-24. Way to go girls!

After a hard fought back and forth game, the AMS Lady Raiders fell short to LCA 35-27 last night. Great effort girls. It's only going to get better from here. Up next, the Raiders will take a quick trip to Buckingham today to take on the Knights. Let's get it girls!

We'd like to give a shout out to the AMS Cheerleaders on their amazing performances during both the girls and boys game last night!

Good morning Raider families! We have been investigating the test notification activity some of you may have received early this morning through your PowerSchool app. PowerSchool support has confirmed it was an accidental test from them. They were conducting tests for a new product, and unfortunately, this inadvertently triggered a test notification to all devices with the PowerSchool app installed. Thank you for communicating it with us. ​No action is necessary from parents. We do apologize though for the inconvenience of early morning test communications from the app.

The Appomattox County School Board tours of ACHS and APS scheduled for Thursday, September 26 have been canceled. The Regular Monthly Business Meeting taking place Thursday, September 26 has been rescheduled from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
