Always a tremendous opportunity. Monday our sophomores visited the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum as part of their English class curriculum. Thank you Mrs. Nancy Spain for once again organizing this trip, and giving our students a chance to learn more about one of the most difficult times of humankind.






Lady Tiger softball junior catcher Aubry Way attended the UT Dallas Softball Exposure Combine Sunday in Dallas. Players were tested in many different areas of the game, Home to First, 40 yard dash, 5-10-5 pro agility, Batting velocity, POP Time, Pitch Speeds.
Combine was open to the first 50 players who are graduating in 2024/2025. Proud of this girl putting in the extra work getting ready for the season.




16 of our Arp H.S. 🐅🏈 players earned the distinction of Academic All-District 9-3A Division 2.
These upstanding young men not only handled the rigors and challenges of our 2023 football season, but also took care of business and flat out excelled in the classroom, where it is always most important.
Please join us in congratulating them for their efforts.
