E-period lunch

  • There was an error in the previous morning announcement regarding the cost of the PSAT test, which will be administered here at ARHS on Wednesday October 16th.  The cost for the 2019-20 test is $17 (not $16).  Juniors who receive free/reduced lunch do receive fee waivers. Students can register beginning Monday, September 16, in either room 309 or 207 (checks payable to ARHS). Please contact Mr. Sadiq if you have any questions. Thanks.
  • The first Schools For Africa meeting will be on Tuesday, September 17th (tomorrow) in room 150. All are welcome and there will be snacks! Email auerbachah@arps.org for questions.
  • September 23, 2019, is the Puerto Rico Day Celebration and we are encouraging students to participate in the celebration.  If you would be interested in performing or speaking at the event, please contact Mildred Martinez or Marta Guevara at the Middle School in the ARPS Family Center.
  • The Sene-Gambian Scholars Program will have its first meeting of year on Tuesday, September 17, at 2:30 in Room 147. Come learn about Africa and maybe go there next spring!
  • Are you interested in STEM? Want to be part of a team, win competitions, add to your college applications, and have a ton of fun? Then join the Science Olympiad! Come to the informational meeting on Tues, Sept. 17 at 2:30 in Room 225 to learn more about this national organization!
  • The next round of Theater Company AUDITIONS are next Monday and Tuesday after school - and we want you there!  Come try out for Briefs - our evening of contemporary 10-minute plays going up in November and/or Shakespeare's over-the-top comedy, Twelfth Night, going up in December.  Guess how much experience you need: none!  Additional info is available on the auditorium doors.  We will also offer an optional AUDITION WORKSHOP - open to all - to offer you tips and strategies for a successful audition at ARHS and beyond.  If you're nervous about auditioning but secretly would love to be in a play, consider this a special invitation to come by!  We'll meet this Friday, after school, until 3:45.  We believe the auditions should be low-stress and should always involve cookies.  Come along and be a part of it all.  See Mr. Bechtold for questions.
  • Good morning - All students in your grade are members of the class council.  Each class council has class leaders. As the leader of a class, you are responsible for working closely with the school administration and speak on the student's behalf;  assist with upholding the core values of the school community; assist with decisions that are pertinent to your particular grade; promote harmony with your grade and other grades. You are able to better the school environment and do community service to help the broader community and make decisions on fundraising in a goal toward a terrific prom, scholarships and a class gift to the school. If you are interested in being a class council leader, you must come to an important meeting on Monday Sept. 16 at 2:45 in room 117.  Any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Haygood at haygoode@arps.org.
