It's time for our community to show up and show out for our Allendale-Fairfax Middle High School Chorus Program! Our choir has the opportunity to attend New York in 2026, but we need your help! We have launched a fundraiser for travel and lodging fees. We are selling both doughnuts and certificates, courtesy of Krispy Kreme. You have until February 26th to purchase a dozen for $16 from one of our choral students. Orders will be delivered on March 3, 2025. Let's support our Singing Tigers and get them to New York! #TogetherWeCanDoThis
Take a look at our tasty breakfast and lunch options for the month of February!

There were several stations set up for our students to see the various opportunities that Salkehatchie offers. As they rotated to each table, they learned about different studies and the career paths they can lead to. Plus, they had the chance to chat with current students to get a real feel for college life! We hope this experience inspires them to consider Salkehatchie for their next steps, but no matter where they go, we’ll make sure they’re prepared for success! Huge thanks to USC Salkehatchie for the warm welcome and invaluable insights! #CollegeReady #TogetherWeCanDoThis
The University of South Carolina Salkehatchie hosted our Seniors for a look at their potential future! Superintendent Dr. Vallerie Cave joined the field trip to support and advise our Seniors as they make the transition from high school to college. Our students were able to attend classes, explore careers, and tour campus! Students were also gifted with scholarships and met with representatives.
Dear Parent or Guardian,
We’re excited to tell you about a free program, ENGAGE Allendale, that will provide your student with an extra layer of support this school year. Here’s what one parent had to say about this program:
“I couldn't ask for better dedication and support for my daughter. Our mentor is a blessing and has incredible energy. I love how she got my daughter out of her shell and talking more (and finding her voice to speak up more). Thanks to our coach and this program, my daughter loves school and learning again. This program is the best thing that could ever happen for my daughter and me!” — ENGAGE parent
