  • SENIORS: Remember to get a pass to and from a college visit before your class starts!If you have tried to attend a visit and the representative did not show, it does not count against your excused absences from class.
  • Best Buddies will have their first meeting of the year on Tuesday, September 25th from  3:00pm-3:45pm in Room 167.  Best Buddies is an international organization dedicated to building friendships and reducing social isolation for people of all abilities.  If you like fun and friendship, this is the perfect club for you!

  • First (informational) meeting of Engineering club on Thursday 27th at 3.00 in room 189. We will discuss project ideas and meeting days.
  • SENIORS:  It's time to make sure your Naviance log-ins are working. Please take a moment to log-in to be sure you can access your account.

    By Friday, September 28th, all 12th grade students are expected to have signed in successfully to their Naviance accounts. If you have trouble doing this, please stop in to guidance for help or a password reset before the end of September.  (Your Advisory lesson on October 4th depends on you having completed this step.)
    • AUDITIONS for Briefs, an evening of contemporary 10-minute plays, will be held this Monday and Tuesday after school in the Black Box.  This is the perfect show to audition for if you have a tight schedule but would still love to do theater this fall - schedules are flexible, with just a couple of rehearsals per week.  We'll need to cover approximately 30 roles, so your odds are pretty good, too!  No prep or experience needed - just show up, read a script and get a cookie.  Questions?  See Mr. Bechtold in the auditorium.
    • Calling all students!  Do you have a great idea for an activity or innovation that will benefit the ARHS community?  Need money to make it happen?  The ARHS PGO offers $200 grants to students twice a year.  The PGO has helped to fund display cabinets for student art in the school lobby, the Cambodian Heritage mural, instruments for Summit Academy, Consent Week, and more. 
      You will find the current application form on the clubs page of the ARHS website. Please note that the fall deadline for completed applications is Friday October 12th!
