Back To School Night
Next Wednesday, August 30th, is Back to School Night. Please visit the Arapahoe website for all the details.
Science Teacher Visits Japan
Arapahoe High School science teacher Brian Hatak was one of forty high school teachers from ten states to be selected to participate in a two week study trip over the summer in Japan. The project was funded by a grant through Toyota Motor Company and organized by the Institute of International Education. You can read more about it online as Brian was recently featured in the Centennial edition of YourHub.
AHS Alumni Who Are Also Parents of Seniors
Yearbook staff is looking for parents who are AHS alumni and have students in the senior class. If you are a household with a second generation AHS graduate, or know someone who is, please let us know with an e-mail to yearbook adviser Mrs. Crozier.
Fall Sports Schedule
The Fall Sports Schedule is now available online via the Arapahoe Website.
Department Spotlight – Business Department
It’s BACK TO BUSINESS at AHS! The year is off to a great start in the Business Department and we’re excited to welcome two new faces. Erin Grantham joins us in our marketing program and will be teaching all marketing courses, in addition to Introduction to Computer Applications and Computer Applications I. She also sponsors DECA (An Association of Marketing Students) and manages the school store. Erin has a B.A. in Business Finance from Colorado State University and a Masters from University of Phoenix. She continues to be a big CSU football fan and enjoys snowboarding in her spare time. Erin has also worked as a loan officer and branch manager in the banking industry. The second new member of our team is Aaron Berthold who comes to us from Chicago and will be teaching Career Connections, Introduction to Computer Applications, and Computer Applications 2 this fall. Prior to living in Chicago, Aaron taught at Regis for five years after graduating from Illinois State University. He is an avid runner and is an assistant cross country coach this fall.
We encourage students to get involved in either Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) or DECA. FBLA is open to all students and is a great club for anyone interested in studying business. FBLA is having a pizza party for their first meeting of the year on Monday, September 11th at 2:15. All marketing students are encouraged to become active DECA members. DECA members will again be selling Entertainment Books this fall for $25. Both clubs attend competitions at the district, state and national level and participate in many social and community service activities through the year. See Mrs. Swank (FBLA) and Mrs. Grantham (DECA) for more information.
We look forward to seeing all parents at Back to School Night. We will have a detailed brochure available on all of our course offerings. Also be sure to stop by the school store and check out all the new Arapahoe clothing!
