Aynor High Continues Project Graduation Tradition

Aynor High School graduated 158 seniors last night (Thursday, June 5, 2014). The school gymnasium was standing room only as family, friends, teachers, administration, and special guests filed in to pay tribute and honor the Class of 2014. And after the big event in the gymnasium, most all of the graduates participated in another traditional event surrounding graduation: the graduating seniors, faculty, and staff loaded buses and participated in "Project Graduation." The event dates back for decades at Aynor High and is intended to keep the graduates safe and allow them to have fun one last time before departing their high school careers. The students participate in all night events in Myrtle Beach and end back up at the school the next morning. You can read more about Project Graduation by visiting The Sun News. Click HERE. GO BIG BLUE, and congratulations to the Class of 2014.

Parent Survey (Must Be Completed By Sunday, June 1, 2014)

Blue Jacket Parents: With the district’s new PDL (Personalized Digital Learning) Initiative roll out just around the corner, baseline data is needed about current technology use in our schools. AHS parents are asked to complete a 5 minute survey using this link: www.BByt.es/PA3JP.  These completely anonymous surveys will help our district learn more about Aynor High School needs in order to provide appropriate professional development opportunities for teachers (to help them get the most out of the accessible technology in their classrooms). The survey must be completed no later than Sunday, June 1, 2014. Thank you in advance for your participation and as always for your support of Aynor High School!
