The end of the 2023-2024 school year is fast approaching. See what is upcoming at the Jr/Sr High School!
On Friday, five high school students traveled to Sauk Valley Community College to participate in the 3rd annual Education Symposium. Students in attendance were Ayden Willstead, Morgan McBride, Lauren Stone, Donivan Myler, and Madison Holbrook. While there, students learned more about the Education Pathways Endorsement, participated in a scavenger hunt, and attended a variety of breakout sessions on various education topics. The afternoon concluded with a celebration of students earning their Education Endorsement. Congratulations to Lauren Stone for being the first student from AFC to earn this Endorsement!
