This latest accomplishment adds to Avah's already impressive list of accolades, including her title at the DeKalb County Golf Champion. Her success on the golf course is a testament to her hard work, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
Avah, your remarkable achievement is an inspiration to us all, and we couldn't be prouder to have you represent Arabia Mountain High School.
