🎓 ABSS Graduate Gallery: Let’s hear it for Anthony (AJ) Withers! A senior at Cummings High School, AJ is ready to shift into high gear as he follows the Enrollment path to pursue his dreams in Welding and Trucking. His journey through ABSS has taken him from South Mebane Elementary to Broadview Middle, and now he's preparing to build a successful future in the skilled trades.

AJ is driven by a desire to succeed and serve as an inspiration to those around him. "I’m excited about chasing my dreams and showing others there's always a way out," he shared. Whether he’s under a welding hood or behind the wheel, AJ is focused on working hard and paving his own way.

While he’s looking forward to his career, he’s leaving Cummings with a major milestone: being crowned Prom King! 👑

Congratulations, AJ! We can’t wait to see you conquer the road ahead. 🛠️🚛
