•  RAVEN RECOGNITION: We would like to acknowledge students, staff and programs at ARHS that have recently been honored, won awards, or excelled in competition. These are just a few examples of the many outstanding accomplishments by our programs here at Auburn Riverside:
    •  Congratulations to SkillsUSA National competition last week.  The students did very well.  In the cabinet making competition Austin Fune finished in 10th place out of 43 competitors.  He had a score of 78%.  The project was quite difficult with a lot of machining and fitting of parts.  In the Electronics Technology competition, Tyler Flynn finished in 9th place, out of 30 competitors.  Again, a very tough competition.  In addition to the competitions, we participated in the Timberland Day of Community service.  Austin and Tyler worked along with 350 other students to plant fruit trees and clear brush at a neighborhood community center.  The focus of this project is to establish a fruit orchard for the neighborhood.
