We celebrate our last day with the 2025 Senior Class. Thanks for the memories! Each one of you has been a blessing to our lives. Remember, there is always something special about being a Pirate. Good luck in future endeavors. Keep those Hooks up!
On May 20th when Avon plays Parkston in softball the Junior Varsity game will be played first. The Junior Varsity game will start at 4:00. After the Junior Varsity game, there will be Parent's Night prior to the start of the Varsity game.
Great day for elementary track and field day! Thanks for coming and supporting our kiddos! They should sleep well tonight 🙂
Another ✔️ on the list for our seniors. This morning they did their Graduation walk through the halls. Then they opened their time capsule they made in 9th grade and Mrs. Haenfler brought them their letters they wrote to their future self in 6th grade. Their time at AHS is winding down!
Thanks to Sips and Bloom and a parent donation for treating our teachers to coffee this morning ❤️
As part of their final week of high school, the senior class took time to honor the educators who have made a lasting impact on their journey. The students read personal letters aloud to a teacher of their choice and gifted them with a lapel pin they picked out specifically for that teacher.
