  • The long-awaited, delayed by remote learning issue of the ARHS literary magazine - The Minks - is now available online! Thanks to the writers and visual artists who submitted pieces for this issue.

    The Literary Club is still accepting submissions now for a special back-to-school edition of The Minks for this coming September. Submit poems, essays, stories, etc. to minks@arps.org.
  • Are you a Junior or Senior looking for fun, flexible summer work? During lunch blocks on Thursday and Friday, members of the Town of Amherst's Public Health Department, who collaborate with our police department, will be recruiting students for their summer Ambassador program. Students can work between 6-19 hours a week for helping out at events, such as the Farmer's Market and public health clinics. Interested? Keep your eye out for an information table this Thursday and Friday during the lunch blocks."
  • It's here!  ARHS presents The Sound of Music - a fully-outdoor live musical theater production, just in time to celebrate the end of the school year.
    Come check out the work of scores of actors, techies, and musicians that have built this wonderful show from the ground up.  With nearly 100 student involved, chances are there's someone you know in the show. 
    Due to the threat of rain this Thursday, we're postponing the opening night and moving this show to Sunday evening instead.  Thursday ticket holders will receive an email with details, and all Thursday tickets will be honored for Sunday's show.  Friday and Saturday performances are still on as planned.
    Don't have a ticket yet?  Get them here at bit.ly/arhssomtix or see Mr. Bechtold in person.  If we are sold out, consider adding your name to the waitlist - we expect to let some folks in from the waitlist each night.

    See you this weekend!
  • The Sound of Music is looking for a few more ushers to help with the musical this weekend! If you've wanted to be involved with the musical this year but couldn't because of other commitments, this is a great way to still help out and be part of this major ARHS event. Interested? Stop by the library or email Ms. Stocker at stockere@arps.org
