The RAM Report

Arabia Mountain High School is thrilled to announce that the Class of 2025 achieved a 100% graduation rate! This milestone reflects the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of our students, as well as the unwavering support of our faculty, staff, and families.

The Class of 2025 has truly embodied our school motto: “Excellence is not an act, but a habit.” As these graduates move on to the next chapter of their lives—college, careers, and beyond—we celebrate their accomplishments and the bright futures that lie ahead.

Congratulations to all of our graduates! The entire RAM Nation is proud of you! 💙💚

We need your help! Daily dress code violations and personal device distractions are impacting learning. Please review these key expectations with your child:

• Skirts may not be rolled; shirts may not be tied.

• Pants must stay at the waist; belts are encouraged.

• Outerwear must be hoodless and solid navy, hunter green, or white.

• No personal devices (phones, headphones, iPads). Only DCSD Chromebooks are allowed.

These steps help students focus, stay safe, and reduce disciplinary issues. Your partnership makes a difference!

At Arabia Mountain High School, excellence begins with being present and on time. We are reminding all students of the importance of arriving to school on time each morning and reporting promptly to every class period throughout the day.

Punctuality not only builds strong habits for college and career success but also ensures that no instructional time is lost. Starting this week, random tardy sweeps will be conducted, and repeated tardiness will result in consequences.

Parents, we ask for your support in reinforcing the importance of time management with your scholar so that together, we can continue to uphold our culture of excellence.

RAMS are ready, responsible, and on time—every day, every class period!
