Guiding Principles

We are a student-focused, comprehensive public high school and remain dedicated to our role in the Arlington Community to educate students, provide enrichment experiences through Athletics, Arts and Club Activities, as well as strive to be a leader in our region for our approach to secondary education.  We are committed to offering an in-person experience to students who choose our Hybrid Model. Students who do not wish to return to in-person learning have an online option with our Arlington Online Program (AOP) within Arlington Public Schools.

This is a time to demonstrate our strengths as innovators and problem solvers, as we pursue the richest possible in-person experience for our students while minimizing risk to all.

We are guided by the best practices and advice from local, state and federal public health agencies.
