Staff Appreciation Week is May 4th - 8th
Teacher Appreciation Week is fast approaching, and we've been scratching our heads for a fun and socially distanced way to honor our Arcadia High School Teachers, Counselors, Nurses, and Support Staff who work directly with students - you know, the ones in the trenches with our kids right now, working overtime to continue to provide structure, emotional support, advice, laughs, commiseration, and of course LEARNING, every school day.
While we have plans to send e-treats with the remainder of our Teacher Appreciation budget, we are asking for your help to pull off a couple of surprises.

Questions & Answers
GRADUATION
High school principals, using feedback from our graduating seniors, are exploring ways to honor Scottsdale Unified School District seniors on May 21, 2020. Feedback we received from students favored of an in-person celebration in the summer if/when stay at home orders are lifted. We are continuing to plan for either or both of these options for our amazing seniors. The Governor's current "stay at home" order expires April 30, 2020, and we hope to have more guidance from his office after that time. -

New & Free Arcadia Alumni Mentorship Program
Recent AHS grads have recruited a diverse group of alumni from various post-Arcadia phases of life to be what we all wish we'd had when we were in high school- someone who gets it, who has been there, who understands, and is willing to answer all the questions. This is an entirely free service provided by Arcadia High School alumni volunteers who are looking to help and support current AHS students at this time.
Whether your student is deciding between in-state and out-of-state, making decisions about loans, has questions about greek life, collegiate level sports, the majors they are interested in, or the experience they are looking for after Arcadia, we want to help and connect them to the resources we found helpful.
Meet a Mentor: Mentor Gabby Mills graduated from Arcadia in 2015. At Arcadia she was on the cheer team and part of the NHS. She attended Arizona State University where she studied Biomedical Engineering/Global Health. While at ASU, she was President of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), and worked as an intern at Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN). After she graduated from ASU in 2019, she moved to England to pursue a PhD in Chemical Engineering at Cambridge University.
If you have any further questions, please contact the program coordinator, Kathryn Chamberlin '15, at
kjchamb2@asu.edu or (602) 680-9474
