Amsterdam High School
Amsterdam high school is an incredible school. The teachers and staff have absolutely the greatest respect for their students and the best care. The teachers care for the students and push their students to do their best. In my opinion their cheerleaders need more attention than given. From what I see they are always put second to last and personally that is not fair. They are all amazing girls and deserve to be treated like any other team/group in the building. Just because cheerleading isn't a sport doesn't mean they should be treated as fairly as others. The school is improving year by year and more and more opportunities are opened for these children. That is what Amsterdam should always be like
