★Spotlight on Major Avenn Smith! ★
We're thrilled to celebrate our outstanding senior, Major Avenn Smith, who recently participated in the prestigious FBI Academy at the Georgia Military College! As a high-ranking official in our AFJROTC program and a leader in several clubs and organizations at Monroe High, Avenn continues to exemplify excellence in every endeavor.
During this intense program, Avenn gained firsthand experience in law enforcement leadership, engaged in live demonstrations with K-9 officers and so much more! The Youth Leadership Academy truly challenged and shaped Avenn, providing invaluable lessons on leadership in dynamic environments.
We couldn’t be more proud of Avenn's achievements, both in and out of the classroom! Keep leading the way, Major Avenn Smith! 🚀 #MonroeHighPride #YouthLeadership #FutureLeaders #ExcellenceInAction
