Please take a moment to review the testing dates. On testing days, our campus will be closed to lunch visitors.
A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast can make all the difference. Let’s set our students up to do their very best. We’re ready to see them shine!

✨Meet our AMS Rotary Student of the Month: Wesley Patterson 🤩
If I were to describe myself I would say I'm a chill guy that tries to make everyone happy, while securing my own needs on the way. I just want my life to be successful and have meaning, so I play a lot of sports like football, basketball, baseball, and powerlifting. I love to hang out with friends and love a good meal. Overall I just never want to upset anyone and I want to be a person that helps create a better future for all people.
In the future I plan to be a vet in a small town with a family that consists of three kids and a loving wife on a large plot of land that I can hunt and raise animals on, doing side jobs like welding and repairs. But if I can't find anyone to settle down with then I'm going to be a marine and support my country.

Advanced Academic Parent Meeting Information:
Athens ISD will remain closed on Wednesday due to continued hazardous road conditions, especially in outlying areas. While many roads in town have thawed today, we still have ice on many of our rural bus routes, some of which extend into Van Zandt and Anderson counties. With a refreeze expected overnight, we cannot safely guarantee transportation for all students. As always, student safety comes first. Thank you for your understanding and support as we wait out the last of this winter weather. Stay safe and warm, Hornets!
Hornet family: Due to hazardous road conditions, Athens ISD will be closed on both Monday and Tuesday. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate this winter weather together. Stay warm and safe, Hornets!
