​Covid 19 Incubation Timeline - FROM AHS NURSE
Please see the graphic above for explanation of why students are asked to quarantine at home after close contact.

What is the definition of an outbreak?
2 or more students/staff who have tested positive for COVID-19 within a 14-day period; and
  • Could have had some close contact such as in a classroom or on a school sports team;
  • Do not live in the same household; and
  • Were not identified as close contacts of each other in another setting during a Public Health case investigation (e.g. friends who play together in each other's homes).

What is the definition of a "Close Contact"?
An individual that has been within 6 feet for longer than 10 minutes to someone who has tested positive for Covid-19. Close contacts should stay at home in quarantine for 14 days after the last contact with the person with COVID-19. If the "close contact" does not experience COVID-19 symptoms during the quarantine period they can return to school.

How do we know if we are a "Close Contact"?
Arcadia Administration will contact you.

When to contact the school about Covid related sickness?
  • Positive Test - if student has tested positive for COVID-19, please stay home and contact the school nurse at dguestnelson@susd.org.
  • Close Contact Out of School - If your student comes into contact with someone in your home or in their circle please notify us.  We are working with the Maricopa County of Public Health but it is helpful to keep our students safe as well for us to get ahead of this.

What are the symptoms of Covid 19?
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html

How to Quarantine in a Household
If you live in the same home or were in close contact (within 6 feet for longer than 10 minutes) with someone with COVID-19, you should stay at home in quarantine.   
 Please read the Maricopa County Dept of Public Health Instructions HERE FOR MORE INFO.

​New & Free Arcadia Alumni Mentorship Program

5/6/2020

0 Comments

 
Join the Program Click Here to be a Mentor or Mentee!

Recent AHS grads have recruited a diverse group of alumni from various post-Arcadia phases of life to be what we all wish we'd had when we were in high school- someone who gets it, who has been there, who understands, and is willing to answer all the questions. This is an entirely free service provided by Arcadia High School alumni volunteers who are looking to help and support current AHS students at this time.
Whether your student is deciding between in-state and out-of-state, making decisions about loans, has questions about greek life, collegiate level sports, the majors they are interested in, or the experience they are looking for after Arcadia, we want to help and connect them to the resources we found helpful.

Meet a Mentor: Mentor Gabby Mills graduated from Arcadia in 2015. At Arcadia she was on the cheer team and part of the NHS. She attended Arizona State University where she studied Biomedical Engineering/Global Health. While at ASU, she was President of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), and worked as an intern at Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN). After she graduated from ASU in 2019, she moved to England to pursue a PhD in Chemical Engineering at Cambridge University. 
If you have any further questions, please contact the program coordinator, Kathryn Chamberlin '15, at kjchamb2@asu.edu or (602) 680-9474

AHS graduate Gabrielle Mills wins prestigious Gates Cambridge Scholarship

2/25/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Gabrielle Mills’ interest in global health was sparked in high school when she read "The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story," a best-selling book about the spread of a highly contagious deadly virus.
​
“I read 'The Hot Zone' during biology class my freshman year. It was really fascinating and I decided then that I wanted to learn more about global health and disease,” said Mills, who attended Arcadia High School in Phoenix.

Now a senior in Barrett, The Honors College, majoring in biomedical engineering with a minor in global health, Mills is set to graduate in May. She has been awarded the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, which will cover the cost of graduate studies at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. In October, she will continue to fulfill her interest in global health and engineering by beginning a PhD in chemical engineering with an emphasis on research.

Mills said she wants to work at the crossroads of chemical engineering and epidemiology to develop modes of treatment for infectious bacterial diseases, such as tuberculosis and cholera.
“My ultimate goal is to be a principal researcher and oversee research focused on alleviating disease. No matter how much work has been done in the last, say 100 years, solutions to disease still elude us. It’s such a complex problem and that’s what draws me to it. I like a challenge,” she said.
Gabrielle Mills, recipient of the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, will attend the University of Cambridge for a doctorate in chemical engineering.
​
Since 2016, Mills has been interning at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Phoenix, where she conducted research on pediatric disorders and created a model that allows researchers to determine the optimal anti-epileptic drug for young patients without the need for testing on the children themselves.
After completing her PhD, Mills said she may opt to stay in the UK or move to somewhere on the East Coast of the United States.
“I want to be in a location where I can travel more easily because my work will be worldwide,” she said.
Mills is one of 34 Americans chosen this year for the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, which was established in October 2000 by a $210 million donation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the University of Cambridge.
The scholarship, awarded to outstanding applicants from countries outside the UK, fully funds postgraduate study and research in any subject at the University of Cambridge. The selection criteria are outstanding intellectual ability, leadership potential, and a commitment to improving the lives of others.
Mills is the fourth Gates Cambridge Scholar from ASU in the past five years. In the 2018 competition year, then-Barrett senior Charity Bhebhe was selected as a Gates Cambridge Scholar, and in the 2016 competition year, ASU alum Michael Meaney was selected. Other recent Gates Cambridge Scholars from ASU include Blake Thomson (2015), Nicole Person-Rennell (2011), and Ben Strauber (2010).
“The Gates Cambridge Scholarship is among the most prestigious postgraduate fellowships in the world. One feature that distinguishes the Gates Cambridge Scholarship program from other major graduate fellowships is its emphasis on 'social leadership,' " said Kyle Mox, director of the Office of National Scholarship Advisement, located in the Barrett Honors College Tempe complex. "The program seeks to create a network of future global leaders who will work together to solve big problems. One of the main factors in Gabby’s selection was her commitment to combatting lethal infectious diseases.” 
“The continued success of ASU students in this fellowship competition is no fluke — ASU and the Gates Cambridge Scholarship program have similar priorities. Both are focused on building thought leaders who are committed to improving the lives of others,” Mox said.

0 Comments

 
Numerous Arcadia High School students participated in another Promposal video this year, which was featured on the local television stations. Senior Jacob Staudenmaier, working with multiple other Arcadia film students and friends, successfully created a movie trailer based on Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel” movie in asking Senior Elle Overs to the Arcadia Prom. Junior Dash McDonald was in charge of the cinematography and also helped with editing and sound work. Other Arcadia students involved in the production included: Christopher Smith, Argon Stern, Max Swiergol, Dallas Greene, Riley Johnson, Carson Charleton, Max McCauley, Mitch Arndt, Avery Greey, Sarah Schneider, Nikki Keller, Avery Moric, Luke Belalu, Luis Ayala, Gaby Schorr, and Mikko. Jacob, Elle and Dash were interviewed last Friday on “Good Morning Arizona” about the 2018 promposal video, which was a follow up to the viral Emma Stone/LaLaLand promposal in 2017.
