Good Morning, Warriors!

This is Mr. Routh, AHS Dean of Students and Activities Director.  I have some important announcements regarding this year’s homecoming dance.  

Remember, all freshmen are welcome to attend the dance; however, they will be limited to guests from Arapahoe High School.  If you are a sophomore, junior or senior that is bringing a guest from another school, please stop by my office located in the guidance center to pick up an approval form.  All forms are due signed and completed PRIOR to the dance, so don’t wait until the last minute.

Picture id’s, such as student id or driver’s license, are required to gain attendance at the dance.  Dress appropriately, ex. No jeans or shorts; those of you inviting guests, you are responsible for making sure your guest is dressed appropriately.  Dance attendees must be under the age of 21.  If you have any questions or comments, please come see me in the Guidance Office.

Arapahoe has built a tremendous reputation for excellence.  Warriors past and present can take credit for that but we have to protect that reputation judiciously.  Warren Buffet puts this way, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.”
