""Warriors, always take care of one another.” This famous Arapahoe quote is frequently intoned by Principal Ron Booth over the intercom, at assemblies and during lunch. Anthony Sitting Eagle (the Arapaho tribal elder for whom Arapahoe’s main gym is named) originally spoke these words, which now circulate throughout the halls of Arapahoe signaling the respect between Arapahoe High School and the Arapaho Tribe.

The trip to the Wind River Reservation recently took place on April 14 and 15 and, with its passing, the Arapahoe Herald would like to voice its support for this special association that is renewed each year.

As freshman Warriors, we all learn about the unique connection Arapahoe shares with our mascot. The relationship with the Arapaho tribe is a special part of our high school experience that few other schools can claim. This connection brings us all together, both in times of peace and of tragedy. It allows us to be a stronger student body than that of other schools and creates a bond between all students."
