Congratulations to the Class of 2023!
The 2022-2023 school year has quickly come to an end and all students will be
departing Thursday (June 1st) for the short summer break. Friday evening, we will
proudly recognize the graduating Class of 2023 in the 55th Graduation Exercises at
Avery County High School. Approximately 135 graduates from Avery High will be
awarded their high school diplomas. Congratulations to each graduate as you conclude
your K-12 (Kindergarten-Grade 12) journey and begin the next chapter in life.
As we enter the summer break, we lift each graduate, all students, their families and our
entire school system up in prayer. May God continue to watch over and protect each of
you and our great school system.
Congratulations to the Class of 2023!
Dr. Dan Brigman
