"The teachers teach us that...you can make change in your school even as a student. You don't have to be on the faculty to make in change in your school. Humanities Amped is very active in the school and dealing with school community. We believe that students should have a voice and be able to voice their opinions, that school doesn't have to be miserable." -- Jarius
