ALLENDALE COUNTY, S.C. (WJBF) — Allendale-Fairfax High School’s Class 2025 is celebrating its graduation at Tiger Stadium Friday night.

Several students earned cosmetology licenses before graduation.

The district also honored Andrey Gadson Jr., who tragically passed away on May 19. The school chose to honor his memory by awarding him his high school diploma posthumously. His seat was also draped with the school colors.

Before graduation, The “Put Down the Guns Now Young People” group gave out 160 free gunlocks downtown Allendale.
