*Warrior Week is fast approaching! Arapahoe High School can’t wait for you to meet this year’s Make -A- Wish Colorado recipient, MICHAEL. Michael is 5 and is battling cancer. His wish is to go to Disneyland. Michael loves all things Pokemon and Minecraft. Your support will help us grant wishes like Michael’s for kids all across the state of Colorado.

Warrior Week kicks off on April 4th with a Super Sports Saturday and our first ever Powder Puff Football game.  The week-long celebration continues on Monday with the CU Buffoons Concert and Wednesday with the annual Staff vs. Student Swish for a Wish Basketball game. At the end of the week on Friday, April 10th we will host the community carnival and finish off our week on April 11th with a community day at the Varsity Inn where 20% of all food purchases will be donated to Michael’s Wish & Make A Wish Colorado.  You will soon see more details about all of these great events. It's going to be a spirited Warrior Week.
