This year, due to "lack of student interest," JamesE.TaylorHigh School has decided not to administer the AMC test, which is part of a series of qualifying tests for the Math Olympiads. We students find this greatly upsetting because there are in fact many of us who have been preparing for this test, or at least looking forward to getting a shot at one of the most prestigious mathematics competitions worldwide. Our school's Mu Alpha Theta chapter has, in particular, been strongly focused on promoting and preparing for the AMC this year. It would be a pity to see that hard work go to waste.

We sign this petition to show that we, the students of TaylorHigh School, do indeed wish to take the AMC test. Our sincere hope is that this opportunity will not be denied of us.
