Former Jewish Academy of Orlando students who graduated from area high schools this year enjoyed a reunion held in the library of the Jewish Academy of Orlando at the end of the academic year. Historically, Jewish Academy of Orlando graduates continue on to some of the best colleges in the country. The Class of 2019 was no exception. Graduates from the Class of 2019 will be studying at University of California in Berkley, Northwestern University, University of Wisconsin in Madison, University of Florida, Florida State University, University of Central Florida, just to name a few. Other students will be taking "gap years" and helping the State of Israel.
After lunch and trip down memory lane by looking through old yearbooks and a tour of their old school, the graduates went into the gym for a spirited game of dodge ball with their beloved former P.E. teacher, Ann Montgomery.
"We are very proud of all of our graduates, and we are proud of the fact that their academic foundations were established at Jewish Academy of Orlando," stated Head of School Alan Rusonik.
