Odyssey Academy is a middle/high school in the town of Greece, New York. It is part of the Greece Central School District. Odyssey Academy serves over 1,000 students, partially selected by a random lottery from applicants across Greece, serving grades 6-12. During the summer of 2012, Odyssey Academy moved from 133 Hoover Drive to the former Apollo Middle School location at 750 Maiden Lane. 133 Hoover Drive was the location for Hoover Drive Middle School before becoming Greece Odyssey in 1993. In 2004, it became Odyssey Academy and is one of the oldest school buildings in Greece, having been built in 1928 as a K-8 school known as Willis N. Britton School, the same time Paddy Hill's formed Greece Consolidated School District #5 School, and when the Dewey Stone area Union Free School District 15 was known as Barnard. It was not until the 1961 school year when it became a junior high school for students in grades 7-9 and the elementary grades were divided up and sent to other district schools in Greece Central School District.

Holleder Memorial Stadium

Holleder Memorial Stadium was a 20,000 seat football stadium in Rochester, New York. Located on Ridgeway Avenue, at the south east corner of Mount Read Blvd., it was built in 1949 to serve as the home of Aquinas Institute football. Originally named Aquinas Memorial Stadium, it was renamed in 1974, in memory of former Aquinas and Army quarterback Don Holleder, who was killed in October, 1967, in the Battle of Ong Thanh. The first ever win for the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League was held at the stadium; on August 13, 1960, the Bills won an exhibition game against the Denver Broncos. The Bills continued to host occasional exhibition games at the stadium through the 1960s. Holleder Stadium was the home pitch for professional soccer's Rochester Lancers, who played at Holleder from 1967–69 as members of the American Soccer League, and 1970–80 while in the NASL. On August 21, 1977, 20,005 people, the largest crowd to attend a Lancers game at Holleder Stadium, watched Pelé lead his Cosmos to a 2–1 victory over the hometown Lancers in the first round of the 1977 NASL playoffs. It was also the host of the first match of the NASL Final 1970. Holleder Stadium also hosted the Rochester Flash soccer team, who called Holleder Stadium home in 1981–82 (ASL) and 1984 (USL). The stadium was torn down in 1985, and an industrial park, named Holleder Technology Park, was built on the site. Aquinas would eventually replace the stadium in 2005 with the Wegmans Sports Complex, with a smaller capacity.
