A special thank you to our secretaries, Andy and Cindie, for keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. From enrolling students and answering calls to helping families, supporting staff, and preparing for the new school year, they do it all with a smile.

We appreciate everything you do for AVC!

Amber Rowley, Kobin Jormeia, and MJ Jacklick attended the Foundation for Dubuque Public Schools Board Meeting with Chelsea Cox. Kobin and MJ shared impact statements highlighting the positive difference SSF and the AVC Summer Program have made for students.

Ever wonder what happens at the AVC during the summer?

Summer may be break for students, but for Rocky, Randy, Laura, and Jay it’s work season! 💪

From moving furniture to preparing classrooms for next year, they’re hard at work making sure the AVC is ready to welcome students back this fall.

Thank you for all you do behind the scenes! 🧹🏫👏

The advisors for iJAG and SSF would like to give a special shoutout to the 2026 graduates in our programs! We are incredibly proud of all the hard work, dedication, and leadership they have shown throughout the year. These students have made a positive impact on both their school and community in so many meaningful ways. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things the future holds for each of you!

We are proud to celebrate Jon-Elliott for completing his Welding Pathway Certification and taking the next step in his career by being selected for an apprenticeship with Advanced Pump. Pictured are highlights from his signing day with Advanced Pump and the welding certificate he earned through NICC. Congratulations, Jon-Elliott—we look forward to seeing all you accomplish in the skilled trades!

A big shout-out to Cathy! For several years, Cathy has chosen to help with our service-learning yard work projects. While helping isn't required as part of her role, she always jumps in with a positive attitude and a willingness to work alongside our students. She brings plenty of laughter to the job and helps make each project a success. Cathy chooses to be involved because she sees the impact these experiences have on our students and our community. We truly appreciate her dedication and support!

Every now and then, one of our graduates invites their teachers to their graduation party! Leo proudly displayed the end-grain cutting board and keepsake box she made in Woodworking class. We are proud of what she created, and even more proud of all she has accomplished. Congratulations, Leo! 🎓🪵✨

Another yard project in the books! Our students did a great job tackling the work and making a difference in the community. As a bonus, they got to spend some time with Mable and Bernie, two familiar faces who are always welcome visitors at AVC. Great work, everyone!

Here are a bunch of photos from the AVC Graduation at 7 Hills! 🎓

It was a wonderful evening celebrating the hard work, perseverance, and accomplishments of our graduates. We are proud of each student and excited to see what the future holds for them. Congratulations to the Class of 2026, and thank you to the families, staff, and supporters who helped make this special night possible! 🎉🎓✨

Here are a few more pictures from our fishing and caving PE adventures!

Students had a great time exploring the outdoors, learning new skills, and enjoying some hands-on adventure.
