Dear Blue Darters,
Congratulations to the Apopka High School Winter
Guard. They performed in the Florida Federation of
Colorguards Circuit Premier Competition where they
won first place and were named the State Champions
and are now ranked 3rd Nationally! The AHS Drama
Department presented an extraordinary assortment
of short plays by Thornton Wilder. The performances
were up close and personal, and quite a treat to
watch.
Spring Sports are up and running and I suggest
that you take advantage of this beautiful spring
weather we are enjoying and come out to cheer on
our Darters. Schedules can be found through a link

Apopka history! While we’re waiting for scores
to come in from around the country, so far we’ve
only found three other teams scoring higher
and we’re excited to know that we are definitely
nationally competitive this year! We also had a

Lacrosse Head Coach Bill Holman had this to
say about his student athlete, “Brittany Eaves
is a true team player; she is always there
when you need her, on and off the field. She
is always unselfish on the field. If you take the time and watch
her during a game, she is always moving, and you can just tell
she is thinking what to do next. When she is in control of the
ball, she never forces it; always looking for that next pass or an
opening to the goal. Off the field, she is just as important as she
is on the field; she is involved in SGA, Senior class council, Beta
and NHS. Brittany does a lot of volunteer work through the clubs
that she is involved in. Brittany has been a joy to coach the past
4 years. I cannot think of a better choice for the student of the
week.” Brittany’s Student Government Advisor, Mr. Paul Peters,
had this to say, “Brittany is a wonderful young woman with
winning ways. She possesses a sharp intelligence, maturity, and
great work ethic. Her ability to work with anyone and genuine
likeability are unquestionable. I truly wish I could clone her!”

This will be a yearlong class.
The dance style is jazz, modern jazz with a mix of lyrical
and ballet.
You will be required to have dance shoes and dance
wear. We will choreograph routines that will be performed at
different AHS events.
We will conduct fund raisers to help with the purchasing
of the dance costumes for the performances.
You do not have to have prior dance experience
If you have any questions before you decide, see Ms. Jennette
