AHS Student of the Month – Samantha Rauh

We are happy to announce Samantha Rauh (2025) as Arlington High School’s April Citizen of the Month! Sam’s nominators talked about how kind, hardworking and driven she is and one went on to say “she’s one of the most incredible people that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting”.

Samantha was described as the “most genuine person I have ever met” and “the kind of person you can always count on”. She is not only a passionate and invested student but also someone who isn’t afraid to ask for help when she needs it. Her care for AHS and her work is clear, being described as “always going the extra mile with schoolwork.” Sam sets an example of kindness and hard work. AHS is grateful for her commitment to her passions. Thank you, Samantha, for your efforts to make Arlington High School a more positive and welcoming place for all!
