SCHOOL HAPPENINGS
We’re off to a great start! It’s been wonderful welcoming our Titans back to campus and seeing students reconnect, settle in, and kick off another great school year. 💙
We’re so grateful to our longtime supporters at @Black Kow Cow Manure. Their donations help our students grow beautiful produce while experiencing the joys of organic agriculture.

EVENT SPOTLIGHT
Titan Scholars Celebrate AP Success
Titan scholars recently celebrated our AP student achievements from last year and also this year coming up. As part of Odyssey’s GATEway program, we will have our highest number of AP Capstone diploma recipients this year from the Class of 2027. Congratulation Titan Scholars!!
ACADEMIC SPOTLIGHT
Reading Between the Lines: High School ELA
Ms. Burnette's students took a collaborative approach to analyzing the rhetorical situation of a text. Working in two lines and rotating through partners, students discussed rhetorical strategies, the exigence, and the context surrounding the text. The activity encouraged students to explain their thinking, hear multiple perspectives, and strengthen their understanding through discussion with classmates.
ELECTIVE SPOTLIGHT
Editing Their Future: Commercial Art 4
Students in Mrs. Oakes's tech classes are building real-world video editing skills using Adobe Premiere Pro, learning how to plan, edit, enhance, and produce professional digital media. Throughout the course, students will work toward earning an Adobe industry certification, giving them a valuable credential they can carry into college and the workforce. Programs like Commercial Art are an important part of Career and Technical Education (CTE) at Odyssey, helping students develop practical skills, explore creative careers, and graduate with experience that goes beyond the classroom.
