PRINCIPAL'S UPDATE
Dear ARHS families,

Today, many of our soon-to-be graduates returned to their elementary and middle schools as part of a tradition we started last year, the Senior Stroll, which is designed to celebrate the Seniors as they near the end of their journey through the Northborough-Southborough Public Schools. 

Dressed in their caps and gowns, the Seniors boarded school buses and visited their respective middle and elementary schools. It was a really lovely day for all involved, including the Seniors, the staff members at all of the schools, and the younger students, who cheered them through the halls. One of the benefits of this event was the emotional and heartfelt welcome back Seniors received from their former teachers, who were so happy to see how they've grown. It was a memorable day, and students and staff alike were reminded of how lucky we are to be part of a system where kindness, enthusiasm, hard work, and fun are foundational elements beginning in our youngest grades and continuing through to 12th grade.

Tomorrow, our Seniors will graduate at 10:00 am in the A/B gym. We wish them well as their journey continues beyond ARHS!

Sincerely,

Sean Bevan
Principal

HEADING

LGBTQ Pride Month

LGBTQ Pride Month is commemorated each year in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York City. In June of 1969, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn staged an uprising to resist the police harassment and persecution to which LGBTQ Americans were commonly subjected. This uprising marked the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBTQ Americans. LGBTQ Pride Month is an excellent time to talk with students about LGBTQ people and their struggles to achieve equity and justice in all aspects of their lives. It is an opportunity to learn about important LGBTQ people in history, read literature that features LGBTQ people, analyze heterosexism and explore its causes and solutions. 

Juneteenth

“Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people were freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.” - What is Juneteenth? - History Channel
