Sports is a very important activity that affects both the mental and physical positioning of the human body and that is the reason why schools all over the globe take out just one day on the entire school calendar to engage students of their school in a competitive sports event otherwise referred to as "Inter-house sports".
It is on this note that staff and students of Auntie Margaret Memorial High School embarked on a glorious moment to invite important dignitaries, parents and students from various schools to grace the very first (Maiden Edition) of her annual inter-house sports competition held at the U. J. Esuene sports stadium on the 12th of march 2010.
The event started at about 11.00am with an opening prayer by Pst. Richard Ojong. This maiden event was graced by very important personalities including Mrs. Jennifer Bassey-Duke (Principal/CEO, AMMHS), Dr. Inemesit Akpan (P.T.A Chairman, AMMHS), Prof. Offiong E. Offiong (Hon. Comm. for Education was represented), Chief Raymond Obeten (Hon. Comm. for Youths & Sports), Dr. Effenji Odey (Perm. Sec. Ministry of Finance), Mr. Etta Uso (Perm. Sec. Ministry of Youths & Sports).

High school sports have been a vital part of the high school curriculum for many years. For years the school districts have realized the importance of sports.
