Evening of Excellence is on May 19, 2026 celebrating students’ outstanding academic accomplishments, honoring their hard work, commitment, and dedication to success.
Academic Excellence Award: Students who earned all A’s during the first three marking periods of the current school year.
Academic Achievement Award: Students who earned a combination of A’s and B’s during the first three marking periods of the current school year.
Pride of the Pack (8th only): A prestigious award for 8th graders demonstrating sustained academic excellence, requiring final A grades in all 6th and 7th grade classes, and all A’s (weighted for honors) in every 8th grade quarter; note that Quarter 4 is not included since the ceremony occurs before final grades are available.
Notes: Virtual core classes (including required reading) do count for Evening of Excellence. HS classes count only if they are core academic (e.g., Algebra II counts; electives like Italian do not). Additional electives taken outside Avalon (e.g., FLVS electives) do not count. All quarter grades must be available; missing grades (e.g., no Q1) make a student ineligible.
