This morning, Seth Laton and Juwann Barnwell joined our daily book club and chose to read Building a StoryBrand 2.0 and True Grit. The first book emphasizes that you should never assume people automatically understand how your brand can impact their lives. As an entrepreneur, it's essential to clearly define your brand’s purpose and promote it consistently.
“Hard work will never go out of style” — a quote from True Grit — resonated deeply with our student, Mr. Barnwell. Both books sparked powerful insights and meaningful discussion. We're excited to continue exploring new reads and growing our book club along the way!
We appreciate the South Carolina State Football team for stopping by to speak with our players. Coach Howard was scouting for Class of 2026 athletes. He invited our players to attend their Chennis Berry Football Prospect Camp. His visit alone gave our team the motivation to keep grinding and practicing, so that we can continue elevating our game and stay ready for opportunities like this. We’re grateful for the exposure and encouragement — it means a lot to our athletes to see that hard work truly pays off. Thank you again, Coach Howard and the SC State Football team!
Gentle reminder that tomorrow we will be having a food drive at Allendale-Fairfax High School from 10AM-12PM.

Lineup begins at 9:30 AM and will be on Law Enforcement Drive (DMV Road). We hope to see you there—come out and enjoy fresh, free produce!

Coach Lewis and several of our football players recently attended the Palmetto Combine, where nearly 250 schools competed. One of our very own athletes, Zamal Ellison, achieved the highest vertical jump of 40.5 inches! This is a major accomplishment, especially considering that our small, rural school earned a title among such strong competition. We can’t wait to see how our football program continues to prosper!
The next session of our Football Skills Camp starts tomorrow! Students aged 10-13 can develop offensive and defensive skills with Head Football Coach, Travis Lewis. Sessions are during the month of April only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:35-4:45 PM. This camp is meant to lay the foundation, so that students can practice their techniques. It's not too late to start, sign up today to start training!
