Avondale High School Students Participate in Final Future Focus Day

Avondale High School students participated in the final Future Focus Day of the school year on January 16, 2025. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors concentrated on building professional skills, exploring high school opportunities, creating actionable plans, understanding work-life balance, and leveraging AI tools for resume development. 

They also worked on sections of their required Educational Development Plan (EDP). Future Focus Days provide students with valuable time to reflect on their goals, engage in meaningful discussions, and stay aligned with state-mandated EDP requirements.

Meanwhile, ninth-grade students attended a mix of in-person and virtual sessions led by guest speakers from the fields of Information Technology, Engineering/Manufacturing, and Business/Community Development. Ninth graders have now been introduced to professionals across all 14 career clusters, offering them a comprehensive overview of potential career paths. According to data collected, over 30% of students expressed greater interest in the careers presented after attending Career Day. These Future Focus Career Days empower students to make informed decisions about their education and career goals, preparing them for long-term success.

A special thanks to our speakers:

Austin Coakley, Fabrication Leader at Hirotec America
Nick Hardy, Owner of The Elysium Experience
Erik Michon, Mechanical Engineer at Giffin
Eveonne Roberts, Downtown Engagement Specialist for the City of Auburn Hills
