We are excited to give back to our community tomorrow, March 25th at Allendale Fairfax High School from 10AM-12PM. Thank you to the Smart Box and the ACSD Food and Nutrition Department for sponsoring this event. Lineup will not begin until 8:45 AM. We ask that you only have one family per car, one box per car. This is to ensure that we can feed as many families as possible.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making our College and Career Fair a success! To our vendors—this event would not have been possible without you! We truly appreciate you taking the time to speak with our scholars about their post-high school options. A special thank you to our staff and student ambassadors who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly.
The College and Career Fair was full of opportunities to learn, connect, and explore different paths post graduation. There were a few colleges like Coastal Carolina University, Lander University, and Clemson University. Students got to learn about various career paths including STEM, cosmetology, and law enforcement.
Allendale-Fairfax Middle and High School held a College and Career Fair for our students to discover their potential futures. Students had over 20 stations featuring both colleges and careers that they could visit. They explored different career paths, networked with professionals, and gained valuable insights into the working world.
Some of our students from Allendale-Fairfax High School attended Be Pro Be Proud at Denmark Technical College. They had fun experiencing simulators and practicing procedures. This event was a great way for our scholars to explore various careers including welding, construction, and plumbing. We are grateful for Be Pro Be Proud SC and DTC for giving our students this opportunity.
We are happy to inform you that our internet and phone service is back up and running. We will resume normal business operations immediately.
