Allendale - Fairfax High School

As we prepare to say farewell to the Class of 2024, we want to express how proud we are of our graduates. No matter where they may end up, always remember, "Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!"

Our seniors earned thousands of dollars in scholarships that were founded by local and national organizations.

Seniors who participated in Teacher's Cadet, National Honor Society, National BETA Club, and or JROTC were presented gifts on the behalf of the organizations.

Seniors who were completers of CTE programs were honored with cords. We have several programs ranging from Cosmetology, Welding, Construction, and Auto Mechanics. We also had several students who recently graduated from Denmark Technical College.

Today the Class of 2024 held the annual Senior Breakfast where they were showered with gifts, scholarships, and awards.

Next week, the Allendale County High School Class of 2024 will be featured in the People Sentinel!

To kick off Testing Week, Allendale-Fairfax Middle and High School had a fun day where students enjoyed games, food, music, and more! This event was a fundraiser for the rising senior class and a great way for students to relieve any pre-testing jitters!

Cadets were awarded with prestigious distinctions such as The Retired Enlisted Award, American Veterans Award, The Superior Cadet Award, and more. These honors are earned by exhibiting exemplary leadership, skill, character, and intellect.

Several other cadets were also promoted yesterday. During the program, the Tiger Battalion honored the late Markayla Roberts with a tribute. They also presented her family with her uniform and awards.

The AFHS JROTC officially had a change of command. Lokeya Robinson handed over her duties and responsibilities to Ariana Priester, a rising senior, during the flag ceremony. Priester will be the new commander of the Tiger Battalion for 24-25 school year!

Seniors also had a chance to chat with admission counselors from various universities in South Carolina, plus representatives from the armed forces and technical colleges. There were food trucks, a DJ, and several mascots that kept the students entertained.

The AFHS Class of 2024 got to attend the College and Career Decision Day event held at the State House in Columbia, SC. Seniors marched in a parade to celebrate their milestone achievement. They heard from guest speakers including State Superintendent, Ellen Weaver.

Congratulations to our very own, Trinity Mickell, for officially signing to Claflin University! Trinity is a gifted athlete and exceptional student, and we can't wait for her to continue her academic and basketball career as a Panther!
