🌟 Community Pride Day 2025🌟

AFHS students showed incredible school spirit and leadership at our annual Community Pride Day.

Each grade level participated in sessions focused on soft skills, college and scholarship prep, and personal branding — learning valuable tools to prepare for life beyond high school.

Then, they took that pride outside the classroom — all students spread out across the community to pick up trash and give back by beautifying our town!

We’re so proud of our students for showing that leadership starts with action. 💪🧤🌎
