One of the most Uncommon things about Anderson 3 is our strong agricultural heritage, which is a legacy that continues to thrive through Crescent FFA and our dedicated Show Team members. ๐พ๐
Last week, our Tigers took on the South Carolina State Fair in Columbia, SC! We were proud to see many of our Crescent and Anderson 3 students hard at work, including a current South Carolina Governor's School for Agriculture at John de la Howe student we still proudly consider a Tiger. ๐
The commitment, discipline, and passion these students and their advisors show in caring for and exhibiting their animals reflect the very best of Anderson 3. Their efforts honor a staple tradition that has long defined our rural community and continues to make us Uncommon. ๐ค๐ฎ๐
