Judiciary Board Elections
The student-led Judiciary Board is a sub-committee of the Honor Council that hears and adjudicates cases of potential honor violations. The Judiciary Board members are selected from the students each grade level nominated to the Honor Council.
First thing on Monday, May 13, you received an emailed Judiciary Board election ballot for your class. Read the instructions to see the number of people you can elect – select those who you believe would best serve your class on the Judiciary Board.
The election will close at 4:00pm on Tuesday, May 14.
Nominees not elected to the Judiciary Board will serve on the Honor Council.
Congratulations to
freshman Abhi Chawla & sophomoreGuilherme Damasceno
for being named
Spartans of the Week! (Week of May 6):
“Abhi joined the Media & Production team this semester and immediately hit the ground running by capturing media of Spartan athletic contests and other events. He has learned how to use our Canon DSLR with advanced lenses as well as our Sony camcorders. Abhi is also one of the editor’s of our popular Top 5 Plays of the Week which could not be possible without his media capture efforts!
Guilherme came to us this semester and immediately learned how to edit & produce using Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects in our Advanced Media Production class. He has also produced numerous videos enjoyed by the Athens Academy community, including our Top 5 Plays of the Week“ –Mike Callinan, Head of Media & Technology
From our Sister School in Germany:
We cordially invite you to participate in our global peace project. Our aim is to illustrate the diversity and connections between people of different cultures through portrait photos and personal thoughts on peace. We are asking students to provide a portrait photo against a culturally significant backdrop along with their answer to the question: “What does peace mean to you?” We would be delighted if your school could be part of this project. Please make sure that the faces are in the foreground. An example image is attached for your reference. Thank you for your support.
AP Policy & Exam Details
SENIORS
- The last day of class for seniors is May 8; exams may be given May 9-10; teachers will work with their students regarding assessment/exam times during the regular block rotations.
- Per the handbook: With the teacher’s approval, a senior may be exempt from a second-semester examination in a course if the semester average before the examination is at least 90.
AP Details (exams May 6-17)
- Seniors are not required to attend their AP class(es) after they take their AP exam(s), but students in grades 10-11 are expected to attend their class(es) for the remainder of the year. At the discretion of the AP teachers and depending on when the exam takes place, assignments will be given to the underclassmen during this time period.
- All AP students are permitted to take the ½ day before their AP exam for last-minute preparation: students who have morning exams may take the afternoons before the exams to study; they must have parental permission and sign out before leaving. This doesn’t include weekends. Similarly, students who have afternoon exams may take the morning to prepare.
- For example, if students have an exam that takes place on a Wednesday afternoon, they are not required to attend Wednesday morning classes. If students have an exam on a Thursday morning, they can leave school after their second block on Wednesday.
- If students have a morning AP exam, they are expected to attend afternoon classes. If they miss afternoon classes, their absences are recorded, and they may miss classroom assignments.
- Students who have College Board approval for extra time are required to stay for their entire exam period, and may not leave if they are done early. Students cannot waive their accomodations on the day of the exam.

Service & Leadership
Friends of Ms. Moon are going on a mission trip to Jamaica this summer.
They will be involved with approximately 79 families. They have asked for school donations: book bags, used pencils, used crayons, composition type books, coloring books, etc. They don’t need to be new. The families are extremely poor and they are so appreciative of what they get. Think about those 3 ring binders you throw out at the end of the year!
If you would like to help, please bring items to the Deans’ office. Thank you!
