On March 13, Principal Jack Ameis received the Consummate Professional Award from the Missouri

Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP). Ameis was nominated for this award by his peers and chosen to receive it by a MASSP committee. This is first time that an administrator from FHN has received this award.

“Mr. Ameis is very student-oriented and fair,” Administrative Assistant Arlene Kearns said. “He presents a professional attitude with both staff and students, and [this award] is a way for students to learn what type of person they want to become.”

For receiving this award, Ameis is invited to a banquet hosted by MASSP on April 13 and will be given $500 that will be awarded to a student of his choice as a scholarship.

“I have had the honor and privilege of working with him for 12 years, and I can’t think of anyone who deserves this award more,” MASSP Committee Board Member Ed Gettimeier said.
