Athletics

On Saturday, November 2, 2012, Arapahoe took the field against Heritage in a 5A football game at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. There was, however, more to the event then the Warriors 42-7 victory. During the game, the Arapahoe Cheers, Football Team, Toms, Wrestling Team and the Littleton Thunder raised over $800 which will be donated to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. This would not have been possible without commitment of the five organizations along with the parents and fans of both Arapahoe and Heritage High Schools. We are truly a community that cares.

Arapahoe has advanced in the 5A football playoffs and will travel on Friday, November 9th to take on Horizon at North Stadium with a 7:00 p.m. kickoff. Ticket prices will be $5 for students and $7 for adults.  Go Warriors!

Winter Sports Registration wraps up this week.  Paperwork can be turned in Monday thru Friday from 2:00-2:30 p.m. in the Cafeteria.  First day of official practice will be on Friday so get your paperwork turned in today!
