Prom is Coming
SAVE THE DATE April 24th

Our student government students are working hard to plan a social event that follows district guidelines and mitigation strategies. Information over the past few weeks has been changing due to the pandemic. I am working with the district Incident Command System (ICS) team to ensure that we have the latest information available as we finalize plans. Based on initial ICS protocols, our student government representatives have finalized the following:

Date: Saturday, April 24, 2021
Time: 7:00-10:00 pm
Venue: Arcadia High School (outside)

More information will become available each week leading up to the event. At this time, we believe we will have the capacity for both our junior and senior classes. We will send updates and continue to monitor as prom approaches. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out, (480) 484-6310.

Sincerely,
Dr. Cain Jagodzinski

Arcadia News Scholarship 2021 - DUE APRIL 9th

The Arcadia News is the award-winning, "good news newspaper" for the community of Arcadia. Since its inception in 1993, the paper has reported on the neighborhood and the achievements of the students in the Arcadia complex of schools.
 
As part of its mission to support and encourage education and media, the Arcadia News provides a $500 scholarship each year for a student graduating from Arcadia High School.
 
The only requirements for eligibility are:
  1. A desire to continue education in the realm of journalism, broadcasting, communications or other media-related fields.
  2. Candidates are required to obtain at least one written recommendation from a current or former teacher, counselor or community leader who is familiar with the student and his or her drive and determination in the pursuit of knowledge.
  3. Write a letter (one or two pages - no word minimum or maximum), telling us about your educational and career aspirations and what you've done so far (any related awards you've earned, media classes, etc.) to get ready for your educational pursuits.
After the scholarship is awarded, there will be a story about the student and the award in the next edition of the paper.
 
Any student interested in the Arcadia News Scholarship who attends Arcadia High School is encouraged to contact Jacque Stauff, in the College and Career Center. All submissions should be given to the College and Career Center no later than 2:30pm on Friday, April 9, 2021.
