Is noon 12 Am or 12 PM?

You know how it is when you forget the spelling of a word so it doesn't seem like the right spelling but then you find it is. I had one of those mornings after accidentally taking too much lisinopril last night and had to look it up. I wanted to set a noon alarm for changing my medicine schedule today and couldn't remember whether noon was 12 AM or 12 PM here it is:

    My boss says 12am is midnight and I think it is noon. Who's right? I hope it is me... A psychological victory, you know. 

    Yes you can say noon or midnight like most people do but when I wanted to set an alarm for noon on my Iphone I had to know whether it was 12 am or 12 pm to set this alarm.

    My smartphone internet said noon is 12 pm so I could set an alarm for 12 pm.
