 Teacher Highlights
Rony Assali
Mr. Assali is full of energy and always has a smile to share. To describe him as "involved" would be an understatement. Over the past nine years teaching at Arcadia, he has served on a plethora of committees! He's not only actively involved on Arcadia's campus, but in the District and beyond. (Read More for a list of his involvement.)

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!
