Dear Friends of Avondale,

Welcome to the Avondale School District.  I’m glad that you are exploring our website.  We are proud of our school district.

Avondale is a district where you will find a collaborative community of teachers, staff and families working together to assure student success.

The multi-city district includes portions of Auburn Hills, Bloomfield Township, Rochester Hills and Troy, and boasts a growing partnership with neighboring Oakland University that enriches the Avondale educational experience at a variety of levels.  

At Avondale, we celebrate the richness of a diverse student population and strive to be a model school community that prepares students to be lifelong learners and contributing citizens to the world that awaits them upon graduation. If you want to learn more about becoming a member of the Avondale family, contact my office and we will happily arrange a tour of any of our buildings!
