Part of our 'Deliberate Acts of Love and Kindness' campaign involves acknowledging our gratitude towards others.  Have you thanked a teacher or staff member today?!?  Please grab a post card from any teacher's classroom, the Guidance Office, the Library or at the Attendance window and take a moment to express your sincere gratitude for a teacher or staff member.  Once you've filled out your card, just drop it by the Guidance office or the Library and we will take care of the delivery for you!

Did you order a yearbook?  The last day to order is THIS Wednesday.  Check the list by the bookkeeper's office to see if you ordered one, or check your infinite campus account.  To place an order, bring a check for $67 to the main office or go online and pay with a credit card.  Don't miss out.  Order one today!

Hey Warriors!  Help support speech and debate  by buying a candy cane during 1st or 2nd lunch in the cafeteria this week​. You can either keep it for yourself or give it to a friend. For every candy cane purchased, you can leave a message to a friend, teacher, or the school in general. Only one dollar for a candy cane and a message!  Happy Holidays!

Attention all Students!  Be sure to wear your black and gold this Wednesday for the Arapahoe Thank You Project.  After school, all available students will meet in the cafeteria and head to the practice field in order to form the word ARAPHOE THANKS YOU and get your picture taken.  This picture, along with a message of thanks, will be sent to local community members, thanking them for their support last year.  Please come be part of this great event!

During finals week, all areas of the library, with the exception of the study rooms, are SILENT study only.  Please plan ahead should you need to complete group work. Study rooms are available for this purpose on a first come, first served basis.  A study room may be reserved ahead of time by using the link on the AHS Library web page.
