On January 15th, 2025, Olympic Peninsula Academy (OPA) hosted its annual Night of Excellence, a student-led event that brought together families and community members to celebrate the accomplishments and creativity of OPA students. Seniors Landon Elliott and Nolan Valenzuela served as engaging MCs for the evening.
The event began with impressive presentations from the Future City Teams, showcasing students' problem-solving and creativity. Guests then moved to the SHS Auditorium for a variety of performances, all led by OPA students. Highlights included a lively folk music and dance showcase, an ASL demonstration, and dance performances from Kindergarten and First Grade students. The Civics Enrichment Presentation provided insights into civic engagement, while French and Spanish students shared their language progress.
Other performances included a student poetry reading, Beginning and Intermediate Guitar showcases, and a captivating theatrical performance by middle and high school students. The evening concluded with a dessert social and art walk, where attendees enjoyed treats provided by the community and admired student artwork.
The Night of Excellence was a tremendous success, celebrating student achievements and fostering a strong sense of community. We look forward to continuing this tradition in the future.
