Black Alumni Panel: Moderated by the Freedom Fighter's Club

Affton's Black Alumni Panel will be moderated by our very own Freedom Fighter's Club. Students in the group have been preparing and learning all the skills to moderate (What a great life and career skill!) AHS graduates from a wide variety of graduation years will discuss their experiences at AHS and our students will be able to process the changes over time in our school culture and climate.

Motivational Speaker: Arthur Phillips, Class of 1987 will speak to our students with the focus of the dream That Martin Luther King Jr. talked about and how we can be what he envision all people could inspire to be.

On February 7th, we celebrated National Girls & Women in Sports Day with great pride. It was a joyous occasion where we paid tribute to our current student-athletes and coaches, alongside esteemed former administrators, coaches, and Lady Cougars. During the girls' basketball games, we came together to honor the history of girls' sports at Affton. It was exciting to have so many Affton female alumni athletes participating in the new annual tradition. #afftonproud #afftonstrong #NGWSD
