The lobby of Mt. Ararat High School is decorated with visible signs of student-centered activity. The walls of the art classrooms open into the lobby and are filled with art work.
Art work appears in the principal's office and elsewhere in the main lobby as well.
A bulletin board lists upcoming dates of importance. Posters announcing upcoming events cover the walls. The newest addition to the lobby includes a series of large color photographs of students at work and play. A sound system plays music all day in the lobby and Commons. Signs of vandalism or graffiti are few and the school is generally quite clean.
