Scottsdale Charros Awards
Congratulations the Arcadia High School Charros winners for 2015-2016.  AHS Math teacher Barbara Thomas is the Arcadia Teacher of the Year, Megan Reniewicki is our Female Student of the Year, and Graham Byron is our Male Student of the Year.   These are a deserving group of individuals who will represent Arcadia with respect and we are so proud of them.
 
The Scottsdale Charros are an amazing organization who continually support Scottsdale Schools.  Each year Arcadia selects three winners to represent Arcadia at a banquet in April. The teacher wins $500 and the students have an opportunity to win $1000. To be named the Charros winner is a tremendous honor and the individuals who win are strong Arcadia Titans who have made a noticeable impact on the school.

Helping our Titan Families in Need
Yes, it's that time of year!  If you would like to take on a charitable cause this holiday season, please consider donating a gift card for a deserving Titan family.  Ms. Hanley works with Arcadia families every day and knows which ones would most benefit from your generous gift.  ANY gift card is of value, but we have found that Fry's gift cards are particularly useful, because they sell everything from food to school supplies to health and beauty aids, and there are stores accessible to all.  Again NO gift card is too small.  Gift cards can be dropped off at the front desk in the Main Office of Arcadia.  Thanks for considering this request!
National Signing Day
On Friday, December 11th,  Arcadia will hold a National Signing Day celebration at lunchtime outside of the cafeteria.  We will honor students who have committed to competing athletically at the college level next year.  So far, the honorees include Matti Harrison, Sam Huff,  Antonio Ramirez and Kara Woodard.  If you know of any other Titans who have received a scholarship to compete or have signed a letter of intent, please have them contact Mrs. French  i n the main office.
