Allendale - Fairfax High School

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.

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.

Today the AFHS JROTC hosted middle school students for recruitment. The cadets shared their experience with the program and even performed a drill routine which intrigued the students.
