Congratulations, Class of 2024!

Our Da Vinci seniors are in the midst of making big decisions about their futures. May represents a pivotal time of year when many students commit to college or other varied paths to start a new phase of their life. We are overwhelmed with pride and admiration for all that they have achieved so far. We celebrate the Class of 2024 knowing they will continue to make a huge impact on the world. 

In honor of this significant time in their life, we asked a few of our seniors across all school sites, “What’s next?” Here’s what they said:

The Addams Family: Da Vinci’s First Musical is a Resounding Success!!

We are still thinking about the show-stopping performances and production quality of The Addams Family, Da Vinci’s first-ever musical in our recently expanded Wiseburn Da Vinci Performing Arts Department. More than 1,010 audience members attended six performances over two weekends in April. Each performance ended with a rousing standing ovation.

Empowering Da Vinci Students for a Lifetime of Success Through Financial Literacy Education

Financial literacy education is a powerful tool to help individuals of all ages and backgrounds make informed decisions about budgeting, investing, managing debt and accumulating wealth, contributing to improved financial well-being, less stress, and a higher quality of life.  

Dual Enrollment Helps Shape and Transform the Lives of Kids at Da Vinci Connect High School

When Milissa Sutton and Leo Millot chose Da Vinci Connect High School, they knew the idea of earning a college degree, and/or taking college classes, while in high school intrigued them, but they didn't realize all the other life-changing benefits they would receive in addition to those college credits and college degrees.
