  • Non-AHS Dates: We encourage AHS students to enjoy the dance with other Colts. However,听as a privilege, we allow Non-AHS dates in grades 9-12 with approval from administrators from both campuses. If your Colt has a Non-AHS date, they will need to complete paperwork (received when they purchase tickets) and have it turned in to their AHS administrator by 9/26 to be assessed for approval. Late forms will not be accepted. NO EXCEPTIONS.听Note: This form is not quick to complete. You will need to plan accordingly to get all signatures completed by the deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS ON LATE FORMS.

This is a great time at AHS and I hope you are ready for a week of positivity and fun. A lot is going on, and sometimes people see this as a time to get stressed out about all of the fun things to do. If you catch yourself doing that, stop. There is never a need to feel negativity to prepare for a positive event. That is not our purpose. You can engage in all of it or none of it. Either way, your child will enjoy the week. Do whatever you need to prepare with positivity and then enjoy the moments!

As always, if you have questions or concerns, please send them to your child's AP or counselor for the fastest response.

Happy Hoco Week!

Sincerely,

Stacie听Humbles, Principal

The Arlington High School

First here. Best here.听
