Principal Natalie Pramenko shares an embrace at her retirement open house April 20 in the cafeteria. The event celebrated Pramenko’s 36 years in public education, 22 of them at Arapahoe, with friends, family, and alumni gathering to celebrate her career. “I’m gonna have a really hard time not being here every day,” Pramenko said. “I can’t imagine life without Arapahoe, but I know Arapahoe is in a really good spot, and it’s going to thrive going forward no matter what.” Media by: J.
