On a busy Friday, March 5th, a number of seniors were in a one-of-a-kind role. Over 40 students were presenting their senior projects and a small handful were also participating in senior switch day, some on the same day. Here’s a look at 2023 participants below:
While those participating enjoyed time with a favorite teacher, the overall number of seniors who signed up was small, a trend since in-person school returned in 2020-2021.
Senior switch day has pretty much been a tradition at Avonworth for over a decade, at least, with much larger participation.
At one point in 2016, close to 100% of the seniors participated, often with two or three students taking the place of one teacher. Here’s a screenshot of the list from that year:

After a two year pause due to COVID, only 30 seniors were interested in participating during the 2021-2022 school year.
This year’s participation was slightly smaller. What might be the reason?
Student Council sponsor Mrs. Studt said, “One of the reasons may be due to AP Testing”
Other reasons? Many students focused on senior projects, held on the same day. A track meet moved a number of seniors out of school as well. Holding the day in May might be in the thick of “senioritis” for many of the seniors. The switch day used to run during the 1st semester, but a number of teachers requested the day shift to later in the year.
