📢 We've Got a New Name!


If you notice something different in your Facebook feed, don't worry – it's still us!

To make our page easier to find when searching on Facebook and online, we've changed our page name from "Spotlight at Afton CSD" to "Afton Central School District."

While our name has changed, our commitment hasn't. We'll continue sharing the latest district news, student achievements, events, important updates and everything that makes Afton a great place to learn and grow.

Thank you for following along, and be sure to keep an eye on Afton Central School District for all the latest from our schools!

The 5th grade class recently visited the Agriculture Room for a sweet introduction to what awaits them in 6th grade Ag Tech this fall. Students rolled up their sleeves and made fresh-pressed lemonade, learning firsthand how agricultural products move from farm to table.

While enjoying their refreshing treat, students also got a sneak peek at some of the exciting hands-on activities, projects, and learning opportunities offered in the agriculture program. From food science and horticulture to leadership and agricultural technology, students discovered that agriculture is much more than farming—it's a pathway to exploring science, business, and innovation. We look forward to welcoming these future Ag students back in the fall!
