Sebring High School celebrated AVID Day, Sept. 12th, joining schools NATIONWIDE in recognizing the power of education, the dedication of teachers and the resilience of our students. Through our partnership with AVID, we've seen incredible results - from increased graduation rates to more students enrolling in honors, AP/IB and DE courses. AVID equips students with the skills they need to succeed in school AND BEYOND, including critical thinking, collaboration and leadership. Today, our AVID students reflected on their skills, opportunities and confidence they have gained by completing the phrase, "Because of AVID, I...." We are proud of our 175+ AVID scholars at SHS to honor 45 years of impact across the nation. Thank you to our incredible educators who transform student lives every day!


👀 Real talk: skipping school = skipping your future.
Every day you show up, you’re leveling up—learning more, hanging with friends, and getting closer to that diploma 🎓.
So don’t miss out. Be there. Your future self will thank you. 🙌

Monday's special guest speaker, George McKenzie, Jr, was THE most INSIGHTFUL & INTERESTING presentation we've ever had‼️ His journey by Amtrak train from Brooklyn to Highlands County was fascinating. A Live Wildly Adventurist & Nat Geo Explorer, he didn't have a traditional, easy path to his current career. We are better people after his intriguing presentation. Thank you Mr. McKenzie for investing your time in our students.

Attendance matters! Missing just 2 days a month (18 days/year) can hurt academic success. Chronic absence—excused or unexcused—is a strong warning sign for falling behind or dropping out.
Every day counts!
