The mission of the Arlington Youth Health and Safety Coalition (AYHSC) is to engage, inform, and empower the Arlington community to prevent and reduce substance abuse and other risk behaviors that adversely affect Arlington youth. AYHSC always welcomes new members.
An important component of nurturing the faith life of students is found in the form of worship we share in common. The Liturgical Choir at various times during the year learns music that enhances the school liturgies and prayer experiences as well as other celebrations. Their performance leads the assembly to fuller participation through the gift of music.

The AC Arts Council is a group of students who recognize the importance of integrating the arts into their high school experience. Its mission is to initiate events and activities -- big and small -- that will cultivate school spirit through the arts. What kinds of events and activities? Well, that is up to the council, but ideas might include an open mic series showcasing student writing, music, visual art, videos; visits to local museums and theatres; workshops; book talks, project sharing, and guest speakers.
The Arts Council will meet every other week. This opportunity is open to students from all grade levels.
