The Arlington School District adopted a program, in 1950, that allowed the sport of rowing to become part of the high school athletic landscape. That tradition continues today under the direction of the Arlington Rowing Association, Inc. (ARA). Arlington Rowing Association, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) corporation (non-profit) and can receive tax deductible contributions from individuals and businesses who would like to support our local rowers.
The Arlington Rowing Association exists for the sole purpose of coordinating the efforts necessary to support our team. This is all done through the combined efforts of the ARA officers, trustees, coaching staff, faculty liaison, and many parents. ARA buys, sells, repairs, and maintains equipment, conducts vital fundraising campaigns, provides wholesome meals at rowing events, and proudly cheers on our athletes as they complete.
