On Friday, February 28th, North Augusta High School celebrated Black History Month with its annual Black History program. It was held to celebrate the sacrifices and contributions of the many great men and women who have enriched our history. Our guest speaker was Brandon Jamison. Mr. Jamison, a graduate of Denmark-Olar High School and South Carolina State University, spoke to our students about the rich history of black Americans, and encouraged all students to recognize their worth. Students stated how nice it was to have someone that was able to speak to the crowd instead of talking to them! At the end of his presentation, he performed a dance from his fraternity, Omega Psi Phi. The students appreciated his ability to inspire the crowd through his dance with one student stating she believed he did this because so many people change the way they are just to fit in. Through his dance, he showed that anyone can be brave and just be themselves! We thank Mr. Jamison for being a part of this time honored celebration and for inspiring all of North Augusta High School Family!
The North Augusta High School Chess Club made history by hosting its first-ever chess match against Augusta Prep! Six dedicated players represented NAHS in this exciting competition:
♟️ Luke Waldhauer
♟️ Cole Marshall
♟️ Jacob Seigler
♟️ Lillian Vickers
♟️ Cassell Okerlund
♟️ Yusif Bucheeri
A special congratulations to Cole Marshall, our #1 seat, who secured one victory for NAHS! While the competition was tough and our team lost the overall match, our team gained valuable experience and is eager to keep growing and improving.
Our Chess Club President, Gabriel Alvarado, was there to cheer on the team, along with supportive faculty, fellow club members, and student families. With such an incredible start, the future of NAHS Chess looks bright!
Many thanks to Mrs. Maroney and Mr. Ball for sponsoring this club!
Every year, Aiken County Public Schools hosts various leaders in the Principal for the Day program. These community members get to walk in the shoes of our principals, experiencing all the successes and challenges they face on a daily basis. On Friday, February 28th, we welcomed Chief Junior Johnson, of North Augusta Public Safety, as our principal for a day.
In addition to working alongside Principal Rogers on the day in and day out activities of being a principal, he also had a chance to experience our Black History Program, interact with our blood drive donors, and even meet with our Yellow Jacket News Crew!
We cannot thank him enough for taking the time to connect with our school and students. A huge debt of gratitude for all Chief Johnson, as well as our SRO's, Officer Johnson and Officer Lebby in keeping all of us at North Augusta High and our community safe.
