Allendale - Fairfax High School

The AFHS Bow Tie Club attended the Men of Color Summit in Greenville. This event is sponsored by Clemson University and promotes service, leadership, and academics. The highlight of the weekend was the keynote address given by the notable Kenny Smith, a former NBA player and current sports analyst.

Today the Ministers in Action came to Allendale-Fairfax High School to talk with students and Superintendent Dr. Cave. With each visit, they are building bonds and strengthening relationships with our scholars.

Our middle and high school students got to enjoy an E-sports gaming lab experience thanks to Blaze Fire Games. Our students were excited about the game truck, and we look forward to providing them with similar opportunities in the future!

Parents and Guardians, for clarification our students will be in school during the Solar Eclipse. Our teachers have coordinated learning activities in honor of this celestial event. If a teacher chooses to take their class outside for the eclipse, appropriate safety glasses will be distributed. We will continue to extend learning opportunities of the highest quality while ensuring our students are safe at all times.

We want to acknowledge our Assistant Principals Anderson, Brandyburg, and Rogers during National Assistant Principal Week! AFHS wouldn't be the same without you!

Today, our AFHS Cosmetology Students held a salon clinic.
