IRMO, S.C. (WOLO)– Lexington-Richland School District Five is offering Golden Passes to residents who will be 60-years-old or older during the 2024-2025 school year.

Also, the district is encouraging senior citizens to be involved and active in district sponsored events and activities for the upcoming school year.

The permanent photo identification card provides free admission into most athletic and cultural arts events in School District Five, excluding playoff games.

“The Golden Pass program brings community members of all ages together and provides an opportunity to say thank you to our senior community for volunteering and supporting our schools,” School District Five Superintendent Dr. Akil E. Ross, Sr. said.

Passes will be issued on Tuesday, July 23, between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. and on Wednesday, July 24, between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. at the district administration building, which is located at 1020 Dutch Fork Road in Irmo.

District officials say Golden Passes are lifetime passes and do not need to be renewed.
