The Parkland School District is located in a suburban-rural setting approximately 60 miles north of Philadelphia and 70 miles west of New York City in the semi-metropolitan region known as the Lehigh Valley. The regional population is approximately 600,000 including Allentown, the third largest city in Pennsylvania. The Lehigh Valley International Airport, Interstate 78 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike have attracted numerous industries and commercial businesses to the Lehigh Valley. With six major institutions of higher learning – DeSales University, Cedar Crest College, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, Moravian College, and Muhlenberg College – the Lehigh Valley maintains a strong commitment to educational excellence.
The 72 square miles of the Parkland School District encompass three townships – North Whitehall, South Whitehall and Upper Macungie – with a total population of 50,000. The district’s wide socio-economic range results from its bordering the city of Allentown on the southeast and extending to farmlands at the western and northern extremities
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!
