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.
Due to overwhelming interest, we have added an additional shadow day session for Tuesday, December 10th from 8:00-10:30 am. This is the final shadow day opportunity for this year. I would appreciate it greatly if you can share this information with your 8th grade students as they explore their high school options. Students can sign up HERE. I've also included a slide if you want to include it in your announcements. Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions.
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 shadow days are done for this year. Check back for more information at a later date.
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!
