It has been such a pleasure to see this journey through with a few students I’ve had the joy of watching evolve since 9th grade. So much love for our Red Devils turned Phoenix, and all who supported them in their journey to this great accomplishment! 😈🐦‍🔥

What a proud day to be an Olympian! 🥹 So many seniors were awarded with scholarships and certificates, celebrating their achievements and hard work from the year. Thank you families and students for showing up and celebrating in community. So much love to go around. 🎉🎊

Together, we rise 🐦‍🔥

Ms. Davis and Ms. Ryan’s scholars gave back to their own community last week, volunteering at the Food Bank of Contra Costa County. This is why we build, why we lift each other up—because strong communities start with service, connection, and these young people right here. 🖤🩵🩶

We had the honor of presenting at the Napa Valley Wellness Conference about the alternative learning pathways that are having a positive impact on alternative education students. It was an honor to showcase the amazing things happening for students at @OlyMDUSD🐦‍🔥

Day 1 at the ACSA Conference in beautiful San Diego, and I’m already feeling inspired! Learning alongside incredible leaders and educators who are shaping the future of schools. The energy, innovation, and collaboration here are unmatched. 🌟

🔥HOME OF THE PHOENIX! 🔥

[Olympic High School @OlyMDUSD]

On September 11, 2024, the @MtDiabloUSD board officially approved the adoption of the PHOENIX as Olympic’s first official mascot! The Phoenix represents the resilience, tenacity, and ability to rise up amid the ashes and take hold of a second chance. Together, we rise! 🐦‍🔥🩵

Public high schools are increasingly banning smartphones. Thanks to @OlyMDUSD and @LearninWithLyon for welcoming me to campus to feature how they've incorporated #yondrpouches on their campus for @MeritStreet.

What do you get when you mix history & art? A history of tie dying unit! Students learned how to make natural dyes and were relieved that they wouldn’t be using insects or invertebrates like ancient civilizations did to create colored textiles. We 🖤🩵🩶 this hands on learning!

[Courtney Lyon @LearninWithLyon]

Proud of the intentional inclusive curriculum and instruction work at @OlyMDUSD to create meaningful learning experiences for Olympic students 🩶🩵🖤

Mr. G & Ms. Prater’s Black History Month unit culminated in a field trip to West Oakland’s Women of the Black Panther Party museum where students learned about & honored culture, history, and resistance. We are proud of the inclusive curriculum that echoes through Oly classrooms!
