Episode 115: Fighting for a Brighter Future
Avon Academy Senior Gwen Maxwell will receive more than an Avon High School diploma when her name is called at Commencement on May 29. She'll receive the key to a bright future she's been fighting for, one she couldn't have imagined just 18 months ago when she was on the verge of dropping out.
You have to hear her story to believe it, and you'll be inspired not only by her honesty, bravery, and grit, but by her love for Avon Schools and the caring individuals who have supported her along the way.
Listen in as Dr. Wyndham has a moving conversation with this inspiring senior and Avon Academy Coordinator/Avon Youth Assistance Program Board Member Kellie Rodkey. Don't leave until you get to the end of the conversation to hear the big news about Gwen's plans after graduation.
