You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.230.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Gymnasium built in 1940 for Arlington High School (10003070).jpg|thumb|Old Arlington High School gymnasium, built in 1940]]

*1908: First graduating class with boys.

*1923: Arlington High students chose Colts as the mascot and the colors of kelly green and white, replacing the former colors of black and crimson.
*1942: A twelfth grade was added to the high school format for children beginning school that year. Students already in school simply skipped a grade.
*1950: First live Little Arlie; “Sons of the White & Green” composed by Jane Ellis/Dean Corey.
*1951: Arlington High defeats Waco La Vega for the Class AA State Championship title.
*1956: Last class to graduate from AHS on Cooper St. and Abram St. AHS opens on Park Row Dr.

*1963: Last class to graduate when Arlington High was the city’s only high school. [[Sam Houston High School (Arlington, Texas)|Sam Houston High School]] opens in fall 1963.

Sam Houston, AISD's second high school, opened in the eastern part of Arlington in the Fall of 1963. The original boundary between Houston and Arlington High School was described by Cathy Brown of ''[[The Dallas Morning News]]'' as "a north/south zig zag."<ref name="BrownHS">Brown, Cathy (editorial columnist). "[http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=DM&p_theme=dm&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0ED3DAFF6902FE3C&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM No blackboard jungles despite changing demographics]." ''[[The Dallas Morning News]]''. Wednesday October 14, 1998. Opinions Arlington 7A. Retrieved on October 25, 2011.</ref> The boundary extended from a point near the intersection of Cooper at Mansfield northward to Arkansas Lane. From there, it extended east to Johnson Creek and then ran alongside the creek to Collins. After Collins the boundary traveled northward to the Arlington city limits.<ref name="BrownHS"/>

In 1965 AISD desegregated, so Arlington High School desegregated.<ref name="BrownHS"/>

*1968: Ousley campus is sold to [[The University of Texas at Arlington]]; junior high relocated to Bailey Junior High on Bowen Rd.

In 1970, [[Lamar High School (Arlington, Texas)|Lamar High School]] opened, relieving some of the overcrowding at Arlington and Sam Houston. Cathy Brown of ''[[The Dallas Morning News]]'' said that "[t]he effect on Arlington High School was huge" since the housing in the Arlington zone north to division had been moved to Lamar.<ref name="BrownHS"/> 12th grade students that had been zoned out of Arlington High School continued to attend Arlington High School, despite being in the Lamar zone, so the class of 1971 had almost 1,000 students. Each subsequent class size was smaller.<ref name="BrownHS"/>

*1972: Principal James Crouch introduces slogan, “How Sweet It Is To Be In Colt Country.” at an outdoor pep rally.
*1977: Logo with sideways horseshoe representing the “C” in Colts used for first time.

[[Martin High School (Arlington, Texas)|Martin High School]] opened in 1982.<ref name=bowie1>((cite web|url=http://www.aisd.net/bowie/old_site/AboutUs.htm |title=About Us |work=James Bowie High School |access-date=October 8, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120401150538/http://www.aisd.net/bowie/old_site/AboutUs.htm |archive-date=April 1, 2012 |df=mdy ))</ref> Because Martin, located in southwest Arlington, had opened, the attendance zone of Arlington High School lost many newly constructed houses for affluent people, as they had been rezoned to Martin. Brown also explained that "The Wimbledon area shifted west,"<ref name="BrownHS"/> The residents of Shady Valley area, still zoned to Arlington, were growing older, and the number of children was decreasing. The athletic teams at Arlington High School lost a lot of talent to Martin, due to the Martin rezoning.<ref name="BrownHS"/>
