Academic Team Celebrates (Again)!

You may remember in November 2011 the AHS Academic Team celebrating bringing home the championship trophy for the Horry County Championship Academic Tournament, but more recently the team members were celebrating in another way. The AHS administration treated the champions to a limousine ride from Aynor High School to the Outback Steakhouse in Myrtle Beach to celebrate their terrific accomplishment. The team will compete in the National Academic Quiz tournament competition in Atlanta, GA over the Memorial Day weekend in May 2012. Members of the team include: Meghan Morrell, Kishan Patel, Dhruv Patel and Alex Garland. The team coach is Ms. Megan Luksa.

Aynor High Alma Mater

On the coast of Carolina, stands the school we love the best. Blue the banner waving o'er her, emblem of her fearlessness. High green pines are all around her; English ivy climbs her walls. Hallowed are the many memories of years spent within her halls. To Aynor High our Alma Mater, pledge we now our loyalty. True are her daughters, strong her sons; crowning her with victory. Her guiding hand, her praise, her name; we'll sing above the rest. We shall to all the world proclaim, the glory of our AHS.

According to historians, the Alma Mater was written by Maribel Lewis, a member of the AHS Class of 1942. She received assistance from her school mate, John Emory Floyd. Together they crafted lyrics that reflected their love of and loyalty to Aynor High School. The lyrics and melody remain distinct and unique to this day.
