Greenville natives Zachary Grider and Amelia Grider will graduate from the Alabama School of Mathematics and Science on Friday.
The Alabama School of Mathematics and Science, the state’s only fully public residential high school for sophomores, juniors, and seniors, is founded on a rigorous math and science curriculum with emphasis on responsible leadership.
ASMS enrolls 275 students each year and was ranked by Newsweek magazine as a top 10 public high school in Alabama and as a top high school in the nation. Since 1993, ASMS has graduated more than 1,600 students, more than 400 of whom have earned post-graduate degrees. Admission requirements are evaluated in three areas: academic achievement, maturity, and leadership in school community and religious organizations.
The school was established in 1989 by the Alabama Legislature to identify, challenge and train Alabama’s future leaders.
