This morning, our gym was filled with smiles, applause, and so much pride as we honored our 8th graders at their awards ceremony. From academic achievements to leadership, growth, and grit, these students have shown what it means to rise to every challenge.

We’re incredibly proud of all they’ve accomplished, and we can’t wait to see the bright paths they’ll create in high school. Keep shining! 🌟

Graduation week is here, and we can’t wait to celebrate the Class of 2026 at their commencement ceremonies being held at USC Aiken's Convocation Center!

To help graduation attendees enjoy a smooth, stress-free day, please remember that there will be metal detection upon arrival. We kindly ask that you review the attached graphic for prohibited items, such as bags, balloons, and outside food, so you can leave those items safely in your vehicle before heading to the entrance.

Additionally, because the lobby can become crowded after the ceremony, please plan to meet your graduate outside the venue once the event concludes.

Thank you so much for your help in keeping this milestone safe, smooth, and unforgettable for everyone!

Upcoming Graduation dates and times are below for your convenience. Tickets are limited due to space, but we invite everyone to cheer on the Class of 2026 virtually by accessing the live streamed ceremonies on our website at www.acpsd.net/graduation.
