WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE ODYSSEY JR/SR CAMPUS?
Harry T. and Harriet V. Moore Lesson
This week marks the 20th anniversary of the Harry T. and Harriet V. Moore Cultural Center in Titusville. The couple were school teachers in Brevard County before becoming civil rights martyrs. Ms. Comegys had the pleasure of meeting their daughter, Evangeline Moore, in 2004 when she returned to the county for the festivities. Ms. Comegys remained in touch with her for years. There are two prominent structures named for the couple: The courthouse and county seat, and the Post Office in Cocoa. The lesson taught in class here was geared toward teaching about our local historical heroes and perseverance after tragedy.
Spring Orchestra Concert
On Thursday night, our Odyssey Titan Orchestra played a beautiful spring concert for family, friends, and fellow peers. Kudos to Mr. Hoffman and all of our talented musicians for their hard work and dedication towards this wonderful evening of classical music.

AP Seminar
AP Seminar students' completion of the Individual Multimedia Presentation (IMP) significantly impacts their overall grade, accounting for 30% of their final evaluation according to the College Board guidelines. The IMP not only serves as a crucial assessment component but also hones students' ability to present complex ideas through multimedia formats. By mastering this task, students showcase their analytical skills and creativity, preparing them for success in higher education and beyond. It underscores the rigorous nature of the AP Seminar course and the dedication required for academic excellence.
