For the 15 school days in Dec. we hope all healthy students are present every day. We will acknowledge classes & students with highest attendance, as well as students who show improvement in attendance. Missing school means missing out on learning & fun. #BelongGrowSucceed

Mr. Kahn is still smiling after kindergarten had their turn at ducting taping him to the wall. Will that smile still be there after five more classes have their turn? #BelongGrowSucceed #Harvest for the Hungry

Exciting Partnerships & Internships at Arundel High School thanks to the Arundel Grooming Project! Arundel HS proudly offers new internship opportunities for its students through the Arundel Grooming Project. Thanks to the generous support of Rob's Barbershop Community Foundation for installing the onsite barber and beauty salon at the school. The primary goal of this project is to increase access to grooming services for students who face barriers to regular hair care. Arundel HS student, Jaiden Martin, is one of the licensed barbers providing expert haircuts to fellow students! This initiative is made possible through the tireless efforts of Zsavelle Smack, the school's Internship Coach, and several administrators. Their dedication has been instrumental in making this project a reality. A heartfelt thank you goes to our community donors: EHI & Walmart Foundations, Wahl Professional USA, and the Wegmans Crofton Store.
