Maynard Evans High School Community Brief
Wednesday, May 22, 2024
|
|
Evans Community Member,
It's a sad goodbye as the 2023-2024 school year comes to an end at Evans High School. This year has been full of amazing moments and accomplishments, and it all came together in a senior sendoff that everyone will remember forever. The seniors' sendoff was a bittersweet time for the graduating class as they said goodbye to teachers, underclassmen and other seniors. It gave them a chance to think about the friends and memories they made at Evans High School. This event was a perfect tribute to the seniors' hard work and dedication, and it also served as a reminder of how close everyone at school has become. When the graduating class walks across the stage at the Addition Financial Arena at UCF on May 30 at 7:30 PM, they will be looking forward to the next part of their lives. They can be proud of what they've done and look forward to the exciting things that are still to come.
As the school year is ending, students and teachers should take some time to unwind and have fun before getting ready for another year of hard work in August. All of our stakeholders have been very helpful this year, and we appreciate all of their support. As we say goodbye to another school year, let's remember the good times and look forward to the great times that are yet to come.
Thank you to everyone for making this year amazing. Enjoy the summer and take it easy before we get back together to keep working hard to be the best at Evans High School.
Mrs. Nelson-Warren
Principal

Class of 2024 Graduation Ceremony |
|
Wednesday, May 13, was the senior sendoff. It was a melancholy and memorable event for everyone in attendance. As the seniors walked into the gym for their last pep rally of the year, the senior class, SGA, band drum-line, and cheerleading squad were ready to meet them with energy.
As our seniors walked down the path of the 300 building for the last time, they were feeling a mix of excitement and fear about what was to come next in their lives. Juniors were encouraged to join in to show their love and support for the seniors. Seniors said goodbye to teachers, administrators, and peers as they walked down the hallway of the 300 building for the last time. They thought about the memories they had made and the friends they had made during their time at school. It was a time to think, be thankful, and look forward to the future with hope and excitement.
The senior sendoff was a fitting way to honor the graduating class. It was a chance to celebrate their hard work and wish them luck on their next journey in life. It made them think of the friendships they made in high school and how, even though they are going on new adventures, they will always be a part of a special group.

The dance department and Ms. Baez finished the year on a high note with the spring dance showcase, which everyone who went will remember. The event was not only unique, but also amazing, showing off the dance students' amazing skills. The spring dance showcase really showed how hard students work, how much they love dance, and how skilled they are. There were beautiful ballet acts and lively hip-hop routines. Ms. Baez led and guided the dancers in every show, and you could see it in how she helped them grow and reach their full potential. People were mesmerized by the choreography's creativity and skill, as well as by the dancers' precision and ability to work together. With all the feeling, energy, and cheers, it was a very memorable evening!
