Your generosity helps us live out our mission and make Christ’s love present in our community ✨
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Crab Feed last night and to everyone who helped make this event so special.
Nights like these remind us how lucky we are to have a community that shows up, comes together, and supports our students in so many meaningful ways ❤️🖤
From sharing a delicious meal to enjoying our students’ performances and revealing our 2027 Spring Musical, MAMMA MIA! 🎶💃 the evening was full of moments worth celebrating.
We’re especially grateful for your continued support of our Fine Arts programs 🫶 Because of you, our Wildcats have more opportunities to create, perform, discover their talents, and share them with the world.
Thank you for being part of the AMHS family and for helping our arts community thrive. We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️🐾
During Friday’s Community Period, our Wildcats shared their perspectives, created fun hype posters for their groups, connected with classmates, and checked in on their academic goals.
Different voices, shared experiences, and one Wildcat community! 🐾❤️🖤
Thank you Wildcats, for being part of what makes AMHS so special!
A special shoutout to Soulin Chhour, one of our fantastic seniors on the yearbook staff, for capturing these amazing moments! 📸
As part of our Health Studies Program, AMHS students had the opportunity to visit Seattle Children’s Research Institute, one of the top pediatric research centers in the U.S. Its groundbreaking research helps advance pediatric medicine and improve children’s lives ❤️
Experiences like these connect academic learning to real-world discoveries and highlight how science and research can make a lasting impact.
Thank you to Seattle Children's for welcoming our Wildcats! 🐾
📣 Wildcat Spotlight: Teuila Halalilo 🏐❤️ For Teuila Halalilo, a senior at Archbishop Murphy, volleyball has been part of her life since she was six years old. What started as a young love for the game has grown into a passion shaped by competition, dedication, faith, and the people who have supported her along the way.
That commitment has now earned Teuila statewide recognition as a WIAA/Gesa Credit Union Athlete of the Week! 🎉
For Teuila, this recognition means more than celebrating her performance on the court. It’s also an opportunity to represent Archbishop Murphy and the community that has helped shape her.
Teuila believes what matters most is who you are beyond the game: how you treat others, show respect, and give back to your community. It’s a perspective rooted in her faith and the values she strives to live out every day.
When asked who has had the biggest influence on her athletic journey, Teuila was quick to recognize her dad, whose background as a professional rugby player and bodybuilder has taught her the importance of training, discipline, and healthy habits. She also shared her gratitude for head coach Allie Sinex, whose dedication, guidance, and care have made a lasting impact on her and her teammates.
For Teuila, being a student-athlete is about more than winning. It’s about growing as a person, serving others, and staying grounded in what matters most.
As she looks toward the rest of the season, Teuila and her teammates have their sights set on becoming district champions and finishing in the top five at state. Their approach? Train the way they want to play and keep working toward their goals together.
Her advice to younger Wildcats is a reminder we can all carry with us: “You’re more than just your sport.”
She encourages student-athletes to learn from challenges, stay grounded in their faith, and remember that everyone has their own path. It’s not about comparing yourself to others, but about becoming the person God calls you to be.
Congratulations Teuila! We’re proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and the example you set for our Wildcat community. Keep shining on and off the court! ❤️🖤
