The Arlington High School Booster Club Recognition Award was born in 2005. It is one of the many ways the AHS Booster Club supports the global high school community in its pursuit of excellence in Activites, Academics, Arts and Athletics.The Recognition Award was conceived as a means to recognize an individual on faculty or staff who: (1) embodies spirit, respect, enthusiasm (2) has a positive outlook and who (3) impacts students, parents, faculty, staff and administration every day.
