Your Monthly Message from Principal Herman... |
Hello Eagle Families,
I feel like every day with your students brings something new! We just celebrated our spring play, spent time with seniors at Senior Dinner Dance, and sent several teams (basketball, chess, DECA) off to compete at state. Be sure to follow our social media for updates on all of our amazing Eagles!
Unified Sports is going to bring us soccer next! Stay tuned for announcements of when you can come and join us for a game.
Also on the horizon, SBAC (ELA and Math) testing is scheduled for 4/17-4/21 (ELA) and 5/1-5/5 (Math) and WCAS (Science) testing is scheduled for 5/23-5/24. All 10th grader students will take the SBAC tests as well as any junior or senior who needs it for a graduation pathway. The WCAS test will be taken by all current 11th grade students. Please let us know if you have any questions.
We also have an assembly announcement for March (see below). This assembly will be for 11th and 12th grade students at AHS. In the year 2000, Kevin Hines (best-selling author, public speaker, and award-winning documentary filmmaker) attempted to take his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Many factors contributed to his survival, including a sea lion which kept him afloat until the Coast Guard arrived on the scene. Kevin now travels around the world, sharing his story of hope, healing, and recovery while teaching people of all ages the art of wellness and the ability to survive pain with true resilience. Kevin's story is a remarkable testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder for us to love the life we have. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to hear more about why we have partnered with local agencies to bring in this assembly, and why we have specifically chosen to present it to our upperclassmen. Happy to chat, anytime.
Kevin will also share his story with the community on Wednesday, March 22nd, at 6:30pm in the Byrnes Performing Arts Center at Arlington High School. Please join us.
With Every Eagle at heart,
Marilee Herman

Senior Dinner Dance was such a great way to celebrate our seniors. We are so proud of you and look forward to seeing what you choose to pursue, Seniors. Make your last semester one where you leave a legacy behind to guide our underclassmen. #ahsflyeaglesfly |

Character Strong - It Takes All of US! |
|
The Family Character Dare of the Month is... |
|
For our teens, our Weekly Character Dare is generally posted in the Commons, but we also share it on social media via @AHSFlyEaglesFly (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) where we have over 6,000 subscribers who can be view these dares daily (just not during No Tech Time - lol). By working on these dares together and talking about them, we grow closer and more connected. The kids get this opportunity together in Friday's Every Eagle Advisory. The Staff have Weekly Dares too! The more WE do as adults, the more THEY do as kids. Family Dares simply tie it all together... here's Character Strong's C.A.R.E approach! It's a fun, simple approach to building Every Eagle's Commitment, Patience, Humility, Selflessness, Kindness, Respect, Honesty and Forgiveness - traits that lead to success beyond AHS. Enjoy your monthly Family Dares!
