High School Visits for current 8th Graders:
Arapahoe High School Info:
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! Arapahoe High School continues to be a leading school in the south Denver Metro area focused on our excellence, tradition and innovation! As your current 8th graders, the Class of 2029, start exploring their high school options we hope they will consider our storied institution to Become A Warrior!
AHS is excited to announce the dates for our popular Shadow Day program. This is an incredible opportunity for current 8th grade students as Shadow Days provide a unique perspective for future warriors to experience the Arapahoe High School culture alongside current Warriors. We continue to encourage parents/guardians to participate in the day with their children. While students are observing classes, parents will have the opportunity to ask questions of our principal, Mrs. Natalie Pramenko, and take a tour of our building.
Our LAST Shadow days will take place on Nov 12, with options for either a morning or an afternoon session. The capacity for each session is 60 students. Students will only be able to bring a maximum of 1 parent to the shadow day. Feel free to sign up for your shadow days here!
Littleton High School Info:
Littleton High School, home of the Littleton Lions, is delighted to welcome eighth graders from Newton Middle School to visit LHS. Our visits are specially designed with both large- and small-group sessions for parents (with LHS administrators) and 8th grade shadows (with LHS students). There will be ample time to ask questions, get answers, experience our school culture, and tour the campus. Families arrive by 9:15 am and are dismissed by 11:30 am, allowing students to return to school and not miss an entire day. Our last two tour dates are November 12, and November 19. Sign up on our website here.
Heritage High School Info:
We want the chance to share our love of Heritage High School with your students. We look forward to meeting you and sharing what we think makes Heritage such a special place to be! Go Eagles!
