Arapahoe High School

Welcome to Arapahoe High School, the largest of the three high schools in the Littleton Public School District. The Littleton/Centennial community is located south of Denver, Colorado. Arapahoe is a college preparatory/comprehensive high school with more than 92% of our graduates continuing their education at the college/university level. Arapahoe High School is well known for its long standing and proud tradition of excellence in every facet of student life. We are well known for maintaining high positive academic and behavioral expectations. Within our 2,100 member student body our faculty maintains focus on the individual student as we provide within our rigorous curriculum challenges, expectations and opportunities ensuring teacher assistance. Arapahoe has maintained the “variable schedule” for nearly 45 years offering students this college type schedule making available an attractive array of academic and elective courses throughout the school week as well as providing students with opportunities to have unscheduled time. Students strongly support our variable schedule and as one student has shared, “At AHS students have more control of their school day”. We believe teenagers need to become independent thinkers, self-disciplined, and take ownership for their learning. We offer a great deal of teacher assistance and individualization. During the unscheduled time students may visit departmental offices, receive tutoring in our study center, access computers, visit our library or get a jump on homework in the cafeteria. Our "open campus" is a privilege, not a right!
