Busy Busy Busy.

This has been a pretty good couple of weeks for Athens High School. Tyler Holland wins the WYSE State Championship, the Bass Fishing team wins sectional, and the school had its yearly prom. This is just another typical busy and involved week for the students at AHS. Track, baseball, and softball all played several games or ran in several meets over the past two weeks. The girl’s softball team actually played a double-header on Friday night – one @ PORTA and then one @ HOME against a team traveling south to play in a tournament. The girls had to make a quick trip back from PORTA to play at home under the lights. Throw in the ACT and the PSAE, planning for Senior Week and preparing for Prom and the kids have been really busy. Of course, there were the pesky teachers assigning HW and tests as well. Our students have plenty of opportunities to get involved in the school community. The simple fact is that most kids are involved in some activity or group that is school-related. Our philosophy is that we would like as many students and staff involved in some sort of school activity as possible. I would like to think we are living up to that philosophy. So, if your child seems a bit run down the last few nights – there is probably a really good reason for it. The general feeling among educators is that students who are involved in school activities have less time to become involved in the numerous activities that have no positive benefit for anyone partaking in them.
Now that we have about a month of school left - things will continue to speed up. It is normal and we are here to help if you need us. Have a great week!
