🪶 Heritage Week Fun in Kindergarten! 🪶
Our kindergarten students had an unforgettable experience during Heritage Week! They learned what it means to be a provider for their families—trying their hand at archery, and learning the traditional skills of skinning and tanning hides.
These hands-on activities helped our youngest learners connect with the past in meaningful ways while having a ton of fun. What an incredible way to honor tradition and celebrate culture! ❤️🏹🐾
🎉 Social Powwow 🎉

🦬 8th Grade Trip to Greater Yellowstone Coalition/Buffalo Herd 🌿
Yesterday, our 8th grade Falcons had an unforgettable experience today at the Greater Yellowstone Coalition Culture & Climate Camp! From tipi setup challenges to deep discussions on Tribal governance, Arapaho traditions, wildfire science, Indigenous journalism, and buffalo restoration — our students soaked it all in with curiosity, respect, and heart. 💬🔥🌾
They truly embodied our Falcon S.T.R.I.V.E. values throughout the day — showing respect, perseverance, and a genuine eagerness to learn.
A huge THANK YOU to all of the amazing chaperones who helped make this trip possible. Your time and support made a big impact! 💛
We’re proud of how our students conducted themselves at the Buffalo Herd and hope the lessons they learned today stay with them as they continue their journey from Middle to High School. 🦅💫
🌾 Heritage Week Fun with Preschool! 🌾
Our littlest learners had an unforgettable experience during Heritage Week! They got hands-on with traditional chokecherry grinding using manor and metate stones, just like it was done generations ago. 🍒💪
They also explored the textures and stories of animal hides, learning about how important these materials were in everyday life.
We’re so proud to see our preschoolers connecting with cultural traditions in such meaningful ways! 🪨👐✨

🎓 Arapahoe Charter High School Graduation 2025 🎓
On Saturday, May 17, Arapahoe Charter held a truly unforgettable graduation ceremony for the Class of 2025 — 13 amazing seniors stepping boldly into adulthood! 💛🖤
This year's graduation was especially meaningful as it was the first-ever held on our brand-new track and football field! The weather held up beautifully, and the ceremony was filled with pride, joy, and community spirit. ☀️
The Class of 2025 is truly special — full of heart, resilience, and Warrior spirit. So many people came together to make this day a success. From staff and students pushing to the finish line, to the families and community members who showed up in full support — we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you. 🙌
HoHou to the incredible ACHS staff for everything you do for our students. HoHou to Principal Law, Superintendent Mayer, and FCSD #38 for your leadership and dedication.
We are so proud of our graduates. Good luck, Warriors — the future is yours!
🎉 HISTORY MADE at ACHS! 🎉
Please join us in congratulating Shayda Bigleggings for making Charger history!
Shayda has officially qualified for STATE — becoming the first jumper from Arapahoe to do so AND the first 3-sport athlete in ACHS history to qualify for state competition! 💪🔥
🌟 Triple Jump – 7th place
🌟 High Jump – Sitting in qualification
🌟 Long Jump – 5th place
Shayda’s talent, dedication, and drive are unmatched. Let’s show her some love as she continues to make us proud at the next level! 💙💛
Our last Senior Shoutout goes to Kenya Rhodes!
If Kenya could bring anyone to ACHS it would be Micheal B. Jordan. If she had a super power she would choose invisibility, so she could get what ever she needs. She says the course she most ecelled at in school, is all of them. If she could be any animal it would be a Penguin. Kenya says the two most important things someone should focus on is their own happiness and success. Way to Go Kenya, we are so proud of you!
To all ACHS 2025 graduates Congratulations, the Best of Luck, and we will miss you all!
