Avondale Students Participate in 10th Annual Oakland County Manufacturing Day


AHS students had the exciting opportunity to take part in the 10th Annual Oakland County Manufacturing Day! 

The event included a visit to HiroTec, a global automotive industry leader specializing in the production of doors, exhaust systems, and closure manufacturing equipment. During the visit, students were introduced to the wide range of career opportunities available at HiroTec and received an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the manufacturing floor. They witnessed firsthand the transformation of raw steel into a specially designed product, made just for them, and even took home their very own finished piece. It was an inspiring and educational day for all involved! A big thank you to Andrew Cray at HiroTec who organized this great experience for us!

Our Technology Education track is unmatched in Southeastern Michigan providing students with marketable certifications to enter the work force following graduation or as building blocks for continued studies in technology-based careers.

The motto of Avondale Athletics is “Winning is for a day, Sportsmanship and Ethics are for a Lifetime!”. While we pride ourselves on coaching our teams to victory, it’s our focus on sportsmanship, teamwork, ethics, and commitment that truly make Avondale High School Athletics one of the best.

Pay for Club or Activity

Being a part of a club or athletic team connects students to something bigger than themselves. Through involvement in school beyond the classroom, students meet new people with shared interest; learn new skills, build knowledge and gain experience; explore interests that may lead to career choices; and improve communication, problem-solving and team-work skills and build confidence.  Involvement promotes active participation in improving one's life and contributes to the improvement of other's lives.
