The inductees were honored during a ceremony in the Avondale High School Auditorium, followed by a dinner and recognition during the AHS home football game. The Hall of Fame then hosted it's annual golf outing on Saturday, October 5 at Fieldstone Golf Club. The outing raises money for the Hall of Fame, which is a non-profit organization. Those funds are then used towards athletic scholarships.
This summer, Avondale students didn’t just take a break—they dove into exciting opportunities for learning, exploring, and creating. From preschoolers giggling through water days to middle schoolers tackling real-world challenges and culinary creations, our summer programs provided experiences that were as enriching as they were fun.
Behind the scenes, it took an incredible team of dedicated staff who gave up part of their summer to make this possible. Their commitment to student success was on full display, and for that, the entire Avondale community says a heartfelt thank you.
A full Summer Program Review will be presented at the August 18 Board of Education meeting, but here’s a look back at some of the moments that made this summer unforgettable.
The district's recent Innovation Day showcased the power of collaborative learning as students across multiple schools engaged in problem-based design activities to tackle real-world challenges. The event highlighted how innovative practices, including artificial intelligence tools, can enhance student creativity while keeping human connection and empathy at the center of learning.
