AHS Special Olympics Basketball is almost ready to start!

Any seniors who are interested in participating should come to room S-6 and see Mrs. Pepe for an application. Practices start at the end of November and the season runs through the first week of March. We practice once or twice a week at AHS in the evening.

Student Initiated Groups-

If you are a political junkie or would love to learn more about politics, get involved and join the Arapahoe Young Democrats. Our first meeting will be in C6 after school on Wednesday. We are moving in on an important election year, and if you are not yet of voting age, you will be soon. You are never too young to get involved and be part of the democratic process. Again, Young Democrats meet after school on Wednesday
