Anyone wishing to attend our 2023 Arp High School athletic banquet on Monday May 15 is welcome to attend.
But if you want to eat, you MUST have a meal ticket. The student-athletes will receive one free meal ticket for themselves. Anyone else that would like to enjoy dinner will need to purchase a ticket. If you haven't already done so, you will want to buy your tickets by Monday May 1 because the price goes up after that.
