It’s been a great year!
It has been my pleasure to spend this first year at Arno as principal. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all the warm welcomes, friendly faces, and support I received from students, parents, and staff. I am truly blessed to have been in such a place that cares so deeply about education, and each other. As I reflect on the year, I have seen first hand the “whatever it takes” attitude throughout our halls in helping every one of our kids learn. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of Arno and many blessings onto you for the next school year.
Thank you,
Steve
You know its the end of the year when…
If the entire class gets 100% on any assignment, Todd made an agreement to do something fun. This is the first class that actually cashed in on the promise when they successfully completed a social studies assignment 100% across the board. see if you can guess what he had to do…

We had the pleasure of having current graduating students, who were also former Arno students, march through our halls one last time to the sound of loud applause. Some of the seniors even found a hand print on the wall that they painted so many years ago. Congratulations to all of our AP High School graduating seniors.
