President Obama’s Massage

During President Barack Obama’s address to Congress on February 24th 2009, a challenge was set fourth to each and every one of us, both students and educators alike. Simply put, we can not sustain the current drop out rates and hope to remain competitive. AIUHS seeks not only to meet this challenge domestically by lowering the barriers to education, but also in the international level by making our programs available everywhere there is a willing mind and an Internet connection. The typical obstacles of time, distance and money are eliminated or greatly reduced falling in line with the challenge requested by our president. Students, we call upon your hard work, commitment, and dedication as you are the most vital component in meeting this challenge. Whether with AIU High School or elsewhere, put your education first as it will enhance not only your personal opportunities but those you will be able to afford and make available to your family, community, your country, and the world. We welcome you to AIU High School and are happy to be a part of your future prosperity.
