  • What if you had the chance to live forever?  Come to Tuck Everlasting, this year's ARHS musical - one that explores that question through a fun, enchanting show.  Starring the work of nearly 150 ARHS students, we'd love the entire school community - adults and students - to come support this incredible production.  
    Tickets for students and staff are $10, with discounted tickets for free/reduced lunch as well - see Mr. Bechtold for details.   Cash sales at lunch begin later this week, but tickets can also be had online right now by scanning the code on posters around the building.  Hurray!
  • Feeling stuck when it comes to writing a great paper? The first mini-writing workshop meets this Thursday, February 28th from 2:30-3pm in the ARHS Library. We'll focus on how to break down research questions--and create some of our own--in this fun and informal workshop open to all students. Questions? Pop by the Writing Lab or the Library to learn more!
  • The deadline to register for AP exams is this coming Friday, March 1. Bring your check or cash ($95.00 per exam) to the Guidance office and sign your name in the notebook on the page with the name of the exam you wish to take at the top.  Friday's deadline is firm.
