ASMSA offers more than 50 courses for college credit, and all students earn an average of 50 hours of college credit while finishing high school. Graduates achieve an average ACT composite score of 30. Newsweek, The Daily Beast, and The Washington Post have ranked ASMSA among the nation’s Top 25 high schools over the past five years. A successful candidate for the position is a student-centered instructional leader with a vision for and commitment to supporting transformational experiences for motivated young adults, innovative instructional method design alongside a dynamic faculty, and facilitating an aspirational academic culture that positions students for success at ASMSA, in college, and beyond.
