Arkham Public High School - 665 W Church St

Grades 9–12 meet here from the first Monday in September till the second Friday of June. The student body contains more old Arkham family names than the more diverse East High. The school’s team name is the “Commanders.”

Anita Pierce

Named principal here after Manton became superintendent, she’s widely respected by her students and the more open-minded portion of the community. One of only a handful of New England women to hold such a post, Pierce still experiences opposition to her appointment and must often defend her policies at school board meetings.
