Yes indeed! Look for "Sylvetta", sometimes sold as "Perennial Arugula". Johnny Seeds sells an olive-leaf sylvetta as well. Both are much more bolt-resistant in the heat than regular arugula.
I grow in containers, and move mine into part shade in the hottest months. They do slow down mid-summer, but production picks up again in the fall. I overwintered a few plants in the greenhouse which are finally putting out enough leaves to use.
