Arlington High School has introduced several new changes to its cafeteria this school year aimed at improving the student dining experience and organization.

The Tigers added new graphics to the exterior of the lunch line area displaying the options available in each line. Students can now choose between grill, pizza, and home-style meals.

“We now have a serve-and-go; the kids grab the food themselves,” explained cafeteria professional Natalie Doan. "We also have designated lines for each food. So each line has something different."

Along with the graphics and other organizational changes, they have also repainted the walls in the cafeteria a deep blue to represent school colors.

Cafeteria workers said they support the change, saying it creates a more organized space and better environment for staff and students alike.

Arlington High School hosted its annual club fair in early September to show students ways they can get involved.
Club fair began three years ago with 30 options and has grown to over 60 clubs and communities from frisbee golf, to DECA, and Booklub.
There is a wide variety for students with varying interests and backgrounds to pick from.
“When students are involved, they are going to learn, they are going to be doing better academically,” said AHS Principal Christopher Davis. “Clubs are a very vital part of what we do here."
Clubs like Students for Innovation, Best Buddies, and Student Ministry work to engaged students by helping them grow and form their own communities.

Learning and growing in clubs can lead to preparation for future careers and sometimes even success in the classroom.
“One of the biggest things that we see at the high school level is that students that get involved are more successful,” said Students for Innovation sponsor Crystal Uhiren.

Arlington High School seniors kicked off their final year this fall by swapping standard backpacks for tiny, character-themed bags from their childhood, joining a viral tradition that has swept high schools nationwide.

The trend, popularized through TikTok and Instagram, encourages graduating seniors to wear miniature backpacks featuring nostalgic characters like Hello Kitty, Spider-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog and Disney princesses. Students say the playful swap symbolizes coming full circle from kindergarten to their final year of high school.

Finding the perfect bag
Arlington seniors searched stores and online retailers to find backpacks that reflected their childhood favorites.

One student chose a Hello Kitty backpack she found on sale at Target because she loves the character. Another selected Spider-Man because it is her favorite movie franchise.
