Allendale-Fairfax Middle students toured the University of South Carolina Aiken this week and they had a blast! While in Pacer Country, students learned about preparing for college and being successful while in college. Students also learned more about USC Aiken specifically which has ranked top three for 21 consecutive years by U.S. News and World Report for Regional Comprehensive Public College in the South. This was an amazing opportunity for our scholars!
