The AFMHS Chorus performed musical selections like "Lift Every Voice" that were powerful and uplifting. Although we are honoring the past, it is important that we move forward with hope and faith for a better future. We must remain resilient and continue their fight, ensuring that their sacrifices were not in vain and that future generations inherit a world of justice, equality, and opportunity.
The AFMHS Chorus delivered two outstanding performances, showcasing their growth and dedication. Their hard work is evident as they continue to perfect their craft. From powerful harmonies to inspiring lyrics, their talent shines brighter with each performance. We couldn’t be prouder of their passion and progress!
Thank you to everyone who participated in and attended our Black History Concert! Celebrating Black history isn’t just about remembering the past—it’s about honoring the culture, resilience, and contributions that shape our present and future. We hope this event inspired a deeper appreciation for our history and a commitment to building a brighter, more inclusive future. Let’s continue to uplift, educate, and celebrate!
As we continue our week-long Black History Month celebration, our students put on a live gallery walk, making history come alive in a truly inspiring way. They delivered powerful speeches and reenacted iconic figures such as Maya Angelou, Jackie Robinson, and Lebron James. Parents and students then explored incredible artwork and biographies created by our scholars. We are so proud of our students for honoring Black excellence with such creativity!
Today is your last chance to support the AFMHS Chorus by purchasing Krispy Kreme donuts or certificates. This fundraiser sponsors the costs for our choir to travel to New York in 2026. This is a invaluable experience that we would love for our students to have. After their stellar performances, we think they deserve it! Let's finish the campaign strong, so that they can reach their donation goal. Remember, every contribution brings our choral students one step closer to their New York trip. #TogetherWeCanDoThis
The panelists answered questions from our aspiring students, reminding them of the strong support system and resources available right here in Allendale. Though each panelist's journey was unique, they all share the same grit and ambition. Mr. Johnson emphasized that being raised in Allendale County builds resilience and strength.
Our AFMHS Chorus Donut Fundraiser is almost over! Help our choral students hit the high notes in New York by purchasing a box of doughnuts from a chorus student.

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
