Avon High School’s (AHS) year-long exchange student program has been around for decades, but according to Judy Garcia, AHS’ Guidance Director, its popularity has grown through the years. When Garcia first started at AHS, the school only had one or two students a year. Now, however, they take up to 10 juniors a year, who hail from all different countries. This year the high school had the most diverse group in its history, with eight countries represented: Germany, Japan, Denmark, Iceland, Pakistan, Sweden, Belgium and Tajikistan.
