The Student Council is responsible for organizing school wide events such as Homecoming, Community Outreach, Staff Appreciation events, Warrior Week, Prom, Mr. Arapahoe, Talent Shows, Toy Drives & More. As elected leaders these students also represent our student body and our school at leadership conferences and they are the foundation of communication & support between our administration, staff and students. To ensure Arapahoe Student Council has officers that best represent the integrity of the program like other student leadership programs in our school, the following components are incorporated into the final outcome:  student body vote, sponsor input, teacher recommendation and interview. Congratulations to all of our newly elected officers.
