New Year, New Beginnings


On Monday, August 12, 2024, Odyssey Jr/Sr welcomed returning and new Titan scholars for the 2024-2025 school year. Teachers and staff extend their warmest greetings and are eager to help students with their academic journey.  Our school community thrives on the passions and dedication of our terrific Titans, supportive parents, and committed staff members.  Together, we will make this a successful and memorable year.

Clubs

If your student is interested in starting a club this year, please reach out to Ms. Donna and Ms. Amanda Nemeth. We are currently looking for a sponsor for Odyssey of the Minds. This club promotes creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and more. It is a creative problem-solving competition that gives kids the confidence to think for themselves and to create solutions to any challenge.  Performance, art & cultural studies are also incorporated, creating a well-rounded program. Odyssey of the Mind benefits all types of students as they learn to think beyond the box. If you are interested, please reach out to Suzette Ventura at venturas@odysseycharterschool.com.

Athletics

As we start this year, we want to introduce our new Athletic Directors for Odyssey Charter School, Mr. Anthony Moore and Ms. Valeria Castro. We are excited to see our sports programs grow under their leadership. If you are interested in coaching or have any questions, please contact them at moorem@odysseycharterschool.com and castrov@odysseycharterschool.com.


Come support the Junior Varsity and Varsity Volleyball Teams for their first Home games of the season on Monday, August 19th, starting at 6 p.m. See the flyer below for more details. 

AVID Fun Friday

Avid students in grades 8 and 10 introduced themselves to one another today for a fun Friday activity. They practiced eye contact, handshakes and public speaking all while building relational capacity within the AVID program at Odyssey. Watch out Titans! These scholars will soon be setting records.
