Congratulations to Mr. Coby Brandyburg for earning the title of Coach of the Year for Region 7A! This is an honor well deserved as Coach Brandyburg is an amazing coach both on and off the court.

The game was funny, yet intense. After going into overtime, the teachers ultimately prevailed and won 22-20.

On Friday, the AFHS Senior Class hosted a teachers vs students basketball fundraiser. The game was all in good fun, and onlookers were hysterical and amused.

Take a look at our March menu to see our breakfast and lunch options for the month of March.

There were several teachers and administrators present to welcome the new Beta Club inductees. They spoke about the importance of roots and elaborated on the four pillars of Beta Club: achievement, character, service, and leadership. Mrs. Oswald (5 years) and Mrs. Price (35 years) were also present to receive awards for their years of service.

During the Beta Club Induction, the current leaders lit candles, recited poems and invited the inductees to join the club.

Congratulations to the newest members of the National Senior Beta Club, who were inducted yesterday.

We are so excited to share that one of our students, Shamiah O'banner, has been selected for the SCRWA Pre-Apprenticeship Program! Yesterday was her first day working for the Town of Allendale. We would like to thank Mrs. Blake and Councilwoman Fitts for providing this opportunity for our scholars.
