    Seniors' Advice to the Class of '29

    "Every opportunity that you're presented with, take it. Take it and have fun with it. Really get to know people who can help you in the long run. And when you make it up there, check your ego at the door. ... Just make sure that every opportunity that someone hands you, take it, have fun with it, and make it your dream." Rion Bolden

    "A lot of 8th graders come into high school with the mindset that they're all that and that they're cooler than everybody. ... I think that making sure that you're not taking away from opportunities you could have because you're not having an open mind and you're thinking oh, that's not cool or oh, I don't want to do that. I think that it's really important that you're going to high school to learn, to get friends, and to make good experiences and memories." Mercy Olaniyan

    "Show up and take the chance. Even if you've never done it before, just show up. If it's a club or an extracurricular, just give it a shot. You don't know who you're going to meet in there. You could meet your best friend in there. You just don't know. You have to give yourself the opportunity to excel." Luke Sigler

    "Find what you're passionate about and pursue it wholeheartedly. I could never sing, so choir is definitely not my passion. But I know a lot of people who are in choir and they love it so much. For me academics has been a passion because I love learning. I've thrown myself into academics and it's brought me a lot of good experiences. And it's appreciated after you graduate, too."

    Teacher Appreciation Week 2025
    May 5 2025
    May 5-9 is Teacher Appreciation Week here in Avon and across the nation. It's a week when we make sure to acknowledge the women and men who have made it their mission not just to educate the minds of the next generation, but to cultivate their lives so they can succeed long past their time in school. For this very special episode, Dr. Wyndham has a fun and fast-paced conversation with five veteran teachers: Preschool Teacher Kastonia Gray, Kindergarten Teacher Renee Moore, 5th Grade Teacher Dee Andrus, 7th Grade Teacher Luke Tudor, and High School Teacher Chris Hill. You'll learn what brought these incredible teachers to Avon and what has kept them here. You'll hear about the teachers who helped them decide to pursue careers in education and what makes them #AvonProud. Each of them talk about the sense of family and community they have experienced here in Avon Schools and how they're working to help young teachers experience it too. Finally, you'll be inspired by their obvious passion to make a lifelong impact on our 11,000 students. Be sure to take time to share your appreciation with an educator this week.

    Avon High School's Show Choir program swept every competition it entered this season — including the state finals — making them the first AHS Show Choir to win a state championship in the program's history. In honor of this incredible achievement, Dr. Wyndham sits down for a conversation with two student leaders, seniors Olivia Gibson Logan Fraley, and Show Choir Directors/Teachers Leah Trigg and Drew Stainbrook. They give Dr. Wyndham a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to put together a successful show choir performance (hint: they're already hard at work on next season), how the students embraced this year's Olympics-themed show, how students held one another accountable to achieve high standards, and much more. Plus, you'll learn about Olivia and Logan's plans for the future and what schools they have attended since starting in Avon Schools as kindergarten students. Stick around to hear what makes each guest #AvonProud.
