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!
May 6-10th is also recognized as National School Nurse Week. We commend our nurses, Ashiel Bryant, Martha Brodus-Freeman, and Jannie Preacher for taking care of our students!

Congratulations to Diamond Kearse, of Allendale-Fairfax High School, for passing her LLR State Board exam today. She is now a licensed Cosmetologist! A special thanks to Ms. Danielle Williams for supporting Diamond during her journey.
During the latter part of the presentation, the middle school students got to see first hand what being a JROTC cadet is like. There were stations where they practiced drill routines, learned the creed, folded the flag, and completed physical training. At the end, there was a Q&A segment and exceptional students were recognized for their participation and performance.
