General Announcements

Arapahoe High School has been selected to participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress, which is also known as The Nation’s Report Card. NAEP is based on a sample of students in schools throughout the country and the results of this assessment influence the decisions of national policy makers. Not every student will be chosen to participate, but those who are chosen will be representing hundreds of high school seniors across our nation. You will be notified within the next week if you have been chosen to represent Arapahoe for this assessment. More information will be provided in the next couple of weeks.
