Golden Ticket Event

SY25-26 • UCHS AMS IV• 04/25/2026

Where New Beginnings Are Born

Every family who earned a seat at our school received something special in the mail — a Golden Ticket. Not just a symbol, but an invitation to step inside and experience firsthand what makes AMS IV unlike anywhere else. On April 25th, families walked through our doors and into a space full of energy, warmth, and possibility. From the moment they arrived, they were welcomed by our dedicated staff, guided through registration, and introduced to the four outstanding academies that define who we are as a school. This wasn't just an orientation. It was a celebration of new beginnings — and a reminder that every student offered a seat holds a place in something truly special.

A Day to Remember

The Welcome

Families gathered in our auditorium for a heartfelt welcome. Our staff introduced themselves, and then something special happened — our students took the stage. Student representatives stepped up to share the programs, opportunities, and experiences that make AMS IV home.

The Tour

Scholars Sasuke and Komari led families through every corner of our building, answering questions, sharing stories, and helping new families truly picture themselves here. Every hallway. Every classroom. Every space that will become theirs.

The United Factory Floor

The tour ended in our small gym, transformed into an innovation showcase. Tables representing our academies — including AOIT and AOHT, and a preview of the exciting new academies launching this fall — gave families a chance to explore their student's future up close.

Families enjoyed snacks, mingled with staff, and connected with one another — because community starts before the first day of school. Our student media team ran the photo booth and Polaroid station, capturing memories families will hold onto long after the event. They also covered the full event through interviews and candid photography — storytelling, start to finish, by students.

It Takes a Village

None of this would have been possible without the passion and dedication of our people. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Burke and Ms. Ifill for spearheading this event and bringing the Golden Ticket experience to life — you showcased our school at its absolute best. And to every staff member, student leader, tour guide, and helping hand who showed up and made the day run seamlessly: this is what AMS IV is made of.
