Aberdeen High School’s Student Government Association (SGA) hosted its first-ever Trunk or Treat and Spooky Walk on Wednesday, October 29th, transforming the AHS campus into a festive Halloween destination for families across the Aberdeen community.
Families from AHS feeder schools — Bakerfield, Halls Cross Roads, G.D. Lisby, Church Creek, Roye-Williams, and Swan Creek Elementary — were invited to join in the fun. Visitors enjoyed walking along a spooky path filled with spider webs, Halloween inflatables, fog, lights, and eerie music, creating a memorable and family-friendly Halloween experience.
The event featured over 50 decorated trunks, sponsored by local community members, parents, teachers from all of the Aberdeen feeder system, HCPS partners, and MANY AHS sports teams and student organizations. More than 1,000 attendees came out to celebrate, making this inaugural event an overwhelming success.
Adding to the excitement, five food trucks offered delicious treats, and a Jurassic Park exhibit from Horne Construction delighted guests of all ages. Donations collected throughout the evening supported the AHS Junior Class of 2027, raising nearly $500 toward future class activities.
“We are so grateful for the incredible support from the greater Aberdeen community,” said Mrs. Erica Harris, AHS Principal. “This event was truly a team effort, and we hope it’s just the beginning of many more community events that bring families together.”
AHS extends heartfelt thanks to all volunteers, sponsors, staff, and families who made this event possible and looks forward to continuing this new Aberdeen tradition in years to come
