Valedictorian Kennedy Ryan Rodgers spoke of the lifelong bond she and her fellow North Augusta High School graduates now share—an honor that unites the Yellow Jackets’ Class of 2026 with generations of alumni. Congratulations to this exceptional class of seniors. They leave bonded by the Friday Night Lights, the historic hurricane that reshaped their hometown, the unforgettable memory of their principal riding the BOD squad table at their first pep rally, and all the other moments that helped shape who they are today and who they will become. Congratulations, Class of 2026! #ACPSDcelebrates #ACPSD2026Grads #ACPSDGraduation

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!

NAHS is incredibly grateful for the continued support of the North Augusta Chamber Foundation and our dedicated SRMC engineer volunteers who invested their time and energy into supporting our students each week. Thank you to our parents for celebrating alongside us, and a huge shoutout to our students for their commitment, growth, and engagement throughout the program.
We look forward to continuing to support students in their academic journeys, and we’re excited for the Thrive Hive tutoring program to return in August 2026!


A huge shout out to Jacket Golf Team and Coach Spears who battled to finish in 4th place in the State Tournament. After starting the day in 5th place and 12 shots behind the host team, our Jackets rallied and closed that gap to take the spot after a scorecard playoff. To top things off, Junior Luke Johnson finished 6th as an individual, making the All-State Team. WAY TO GO JACKETS! #nahsyellowjackets

Please take a few minutes to review the registration information at www.acpsd.net/register or go directly to your parent portal in PowerSchool at http://aiken.powerschool.com/public.
For returning students, registration takes just a few minutes through your parent portal account as the student’s existing registration information will pre-populate.
