Mission statement

Arlen High is committed to producing top students and championship football teams.

Death is the only excuse for failure, and the only result.

Way down in Arlen, Texas is the place I love.
There stands our dear old Alma Mater who to us recalls,
Fond memories of hunting trips and playing football.
And makes us proud to know that we're the best school of them all.

AHS students who drive or ride their transportation to school must park in the student parking or feeding lots. Students who park their vehicles in an unauthorized area will be subject to disciplinary action. Further violations will result in the vehicle being towed away at the owner's expense or the animal confiscated by the cafeteria. Students must obtain a parking tag to use the student parking and feed lots. The types of tags available are: (1) Regular-$20 per year, and (2) Live Stock-$30

To obtain the parking tag you must pay your fee in the office and present a valid driver's license and your car license plate number(if applicable). The parking lot rules are as follows:

1. The parking tag must hang on the rearview mirror or around the animal's neck.
2. The tag may be used on any vehicle or animal that the registered student is using.
3. Grazing is permitted only in designated lots and with the appropriate tag.
4. The tag is the responsibility of the registered student and if lost or stolen, a $20 fee will be required for replacement.
5. Tags are to be used only by the registered student.
6. Drive or ride safely and control your speed.
7. Use only one parking space or feeding bag.
8. Park the vehicle, set the emergency brake, lock the doors, and leave the parking lot immediately (if applicable).
9. Tie animals securely.
