Soroyo Hickman

Since starting Odyssey in 6th grade, Soroyo has made a name for herself through a blend of creative ambition and memorable school spirit. A writer at heart, Soroyo is currently focused on crafting stories with the ultimate goal of seeing them published as books. While academics are a priority, she is not  afraid to spark some fun, fondly recalling the time she and her friends successfully started a massive congo line during homecoming.

Looking back on her academic journey, Soroyo highlights Ms. Mullins as a favorite teacher, noting that her engaging personality made the classroom both fun and productive. Although she will miss the kind people she has met throughout the years, Soroyo is focused on a rigorous future. Her post-graduation plans include earning a degree in biochemistry, completing four years of medical school, and eventually becoming an anesthesiologist.

Zipporah Panton

Since joining Odyssey in the 6th grade, Zipporah Panton has become well-known for her vibrant, outgoing personality and her genuine love for connecting with people. A dedicated leader within the marching band, she took great pride in her role as Uniform Captain, ensuring her peers felt comfortable and prepared for every performance. Zipporah credits much of her growth to Ms. Kevelin, whose unwavering patience and dedication made the band room a second home filled with laughter and music—an experience she wouldn't trade for anything.

Following graduation, Zipporah plans to pursue a degree in Nursing. Guided by her faith and a desire to serve, she looks forward to exploring various hospital departments, from the NICU to the ICU, as she works toward becoming a Registered Nurse.

Jonas Petrocelli

Over the past six years as an Odyssey student, Jonas Petrocelli has found his purpose through the art of creation. Driven by a childhood dream to entertain, Jonas writes, produces, and directs projects across all genres, valuing the creative process above all else. He carries a deep appreciation for the power of human connection, often reflecting on a pivotal moment when a fellow student’s unexpected encouragement reminded him that there is always hope in humanity when people support one another.

A student of Mrs. Parrish, Jonas balances his creative drive with a love for Chicken Tinga and a clear post-graduation focus: "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" (with a very strong preference for the former). Whether his works are liked or disliked, Jonas remains dedicated to bringing his visions to life and making his mark on the world of entertainment.
