Welcome to Memorial High School

Welcome to Memorial High School, a thriving center of urban education.  The years that follow will be some of the most memorable years of your life.  I invite you to make your time at Memorial High School worthwhile and full of magnificent memories.  You will forever remember your teachers, friends, and all of the fun you had.  This comprehensive high school offers a variety of opportunities for all students in our academic and co-curricular programs.  We encourage all students to take advantage of these opportunities to grow, develop, and expand their abilities.  We invite you to be an active participant in high school life.   

Memorial high school offers a wide array of Advance Placement courses for college credit and a multitude of honors and college preparatory courses for our students.  We truly believe that every student is capable of going to college.  However, we also recognize that some students choose other post secondary career paths so we have numerous programs in place to address their needs as well.  Please stop by our guidance suite for more information.     

In this new era of high stakes testing, Memorial High School prides itself in its ability to achieve a very high level of academic success, which often exceeds that of non-“Abbott” schools.  We attribute this success to the dedication of the administration, faculty and staff.  However, our commitment to excellence reminds us that there is always room for improvement.  This is why we are constantly revising curriculum, policy and procedures. 

Our parent/student handbook (now a link on our website’s homepage) has been prepared to inform you of our policies and procedures.  Please review the handbook carefully. 

Parents are encouraged to join our Organization of Parents and Faculty (OPF) which holds monthly meetings in the evenings throughout the school-year.  Check out our website’s monthly calendar for the dates of the OPF meetings and for monthly updates to the School News link.   

The caring and dedicated staff at Memorial High School wants you and your parent(s)/guardian(s) to be assured that we are here to help you reach your full potential.  Have a great year!
