Class Officer Elections! Sign-Ups Close TODAY 8/18 at 4:00!

 
Last spring, the student body elected your Student Body Officers (also known as the Executive Council) for this year:  Charlie Walton, Millie Pugmire, Tucker Rhodes, Jack Ryan and Buck Talley. They serve the entire student body and will work closely with your class officers.
 
You may be wondering what Student Council is! Here is the first part of our constitution:
Student Council provides the Athens Academy community with opportunities to share their time, gifts and talents in service to Athens Academy and our community. It provides special events that promote school spirit and works closely with fellow students, faculty and administration.
 
The student voice is an integral part of the decision making process. Students should feel free to bring any concerns they may have to the Student Council who advocates for students to address issues affecting campus climate and the welfare of the student body.
 
Class Officers are representatives of your class, sharing your voice with the full Student Council and are also integral in planning many of our student life events! However, Student Council does not just oversee all of our fun events. They meet with faculty and administration on other important topics within our community, so they are a voice for you.
 
If you are interested in running for a class officer position and you are ready to have fun while working hard to make your upper school days the best they can be, please consider running!
 
Class Officer positions are: Class President, Class Vice President, Class Communications Coordinator, and Class Event Coordinator 
 
If you have any questions, please read the Student Council Constitution and stop by the Deans’ Office to chat!

Invitation to 11th–12th Grade Girls: Attend the Global Women in STEM Leadership Summit!

From Dr. Scott:

Hello Junior and Senior Ladies—

We’re excited to present this opportunity to all rising junior and senior girls interested in exploring leadership and career pathways in science, technology, and related fields—including business, marketing, and communications roles that support and advance STEM industries.

Would you like to attend the Global Women in STEM Leadership Summit with me and Ms. Boyd (our likely second chaperone)? This two-day conference will be held Monday and Tuesday, September 29–30, 2025, at the Westin Buckhead in Atlanta. It features dynamic keynote speakers, interactive panels, and hands-on workshops—all focused on empowering young women to lead in STEM.

In addition to looking great on a resume or college application, this is a genuinely fun and motivating experience. You’ll discover careers you may never have considered, connect with inspiring women across industries, and enjoy a memorable couple of days with your classmates.
Please note: this is a professional conference, so professional attire and conduct are required. Of course all of the normal school and field trip rules apply.

Key Details:

  • Location: Westin Buckhead, Atlanta

  • Conference Dates: Monday & Tuesday, September 29–30

  • Hotel Stay: Sunday night (9/28) through Tuesday (9/30), checking out after the conference

  • Estimated Cost: Around $1000 per student (includes registration, hotel, and meals)

  • Group Size: We need at least 4 students to move forward and can take a maximum of 12

  • Spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis AND the more participants the lower the cost.

The science department will coordinate all arrangements—including conference registration and hotel booking. Families will reimburse the school once final costs are determined. The more students who attend, the lower the per-person cost.

I’ve attended this event several times, and each group of students has found it inspiring and eye-opening. It’s a great way to explore future possibilities while building your confidence and leadership skills.

If you’d like to hear more from past attendees, feel free to reach out to Siena Avolio, Emilee Storz, Janie O’Neil, Marie Rutledge, or Nina Rutledge, who attended last fall.

I do apologize for the short notice—we typically receive our invitation to participate at the discounted group rate late in the preceding school year, which doesn’t leave much time to prepare.

If you’re interested, please check your schedule, talk with your family, and let me know ASAP. I’d love to finalize our group and secure hotel rooms as soon as possible.

 Tardy Policy Update

Students who arrive to class late must sign in with Mrs. Rorey in the US office. (She will give the student a slip of paper with the time on in that the student will take to his/her next class). Students arriving more than 20 minutes late to class must have a parent call or email the US Office to confirm their late arrival. After the second tardy per class per semester, students will serve Community Restoration. After the third tardy per class per semester, students will serve a second Community Restoration and lose free periods and/or other privileges. Consequences will escalate with excessive tardiness.

Notes:

  •  We will not be using QR Codes. 
  • If you know you are going to be late to a class, go straight to Mrs. Rorey for a note with the time of check in on it.
  • When you enter your class late, give your teacher the note. Your teacher will know if you have had appropriate time to get to class from Mrs. Rorey’s desk.
  • If you know you will be checking out later in the day, and you are on Mrs. Rorey’s side of campus, you may want to have her write you a note at that time so you don’t need to go back later
  • You will have 1 “free tardy” to a class. So on the second tardy, you will serve Community Restoration

Dress Code Update

  • Facial Hair is no longer a senior privilege. With approval from the Deans’ Office, facial hair must be neat and well groomed.
  • You will have 1 “free dress code infraction”, so when you receive your 2nd dress code infraction, you will serve Community Restoration.
  • Please review the Upper School Dress Code policy before Wednesday. At the bottom of the document is a slide show with examples. If you have any questions, please let Mrs. Farmer or Mr. Olson know BEFORE you wear questionable clothes. You will be expected to be in dress code on the first day of school
  • You and your parents will now be able to view your dress code infractions.

 Tardy Policy Update

Students who arrive to class late must sign in with Mrs. Rorey in the US office. (She will give the student a slip of paper with the time on in that the student will take to his/her next class). Students arriving more than 20 minutes late to class must have a parent call or email the US Office to confirm their late arrival. After the second tardy per class per semester, students will serve Community Restoration. After the third tardy per class per semester, students will serve a second Community Restoration and lose free periods and/or other privileges. Consequences will escalate with excessive tardiness.

Notes:

  •  We will not be using QR Codes. 
  • If you know you are going to be late to a class, go straight to Mrs. Rorey for a note with the time of check in on it.
  • When you enter your class late, give your teacher the note. Your teacher will know if you have had appropriate time to get to class from Mrs. Rorey’s desk.
  • If you know you will be checking out later in the day, and you are on Mrs. Rorey’s side of campus, you may want to have her write you a note at that time so you don’t need to go back later
  • You will have 1 “free tardy” to a class. So on the second tardy, you will serve Community Restoration

Dress Code Update

  • Facial Hair is no longer a senior privilege. With approval from the Deans’ Office, facial hair must be neat and well groomed.
  • You will have 1 “free dress code infraction”, so when you receive your 2nd dress code infraction, you will serve Community Restoration.
  • Please review the Upper School Dress Code policy before Wednesday. At the bottom of the document is a slide show with examples. If you have any questions, please let Mrs. Farmer or Mr. Olson know BEFORE you wear questionable clothes. You will be expected to be in dress code on the first day of school
  • You and your parents will now be able to view your dress code infractions.

Congratulations to seniors Veronika Babbitt & Maxwell Bracewell 
for being named Spartans of the Week(Week of May 5):
 
“Veronika has been so consistently excellent throughout her career, we sometimes take it for granted. She always delivers and can always be counted on. Veronika has a passion for the sport and travels extensively to pursue the hammer and javelin, two events that are not contested in Georgia. Even though she is very much a star she is also a very team oriented athlete. Veronika often stays long past her event conclusion to support her teammates and to help clean up our camp. Stanford University is not just getting a first class athlete but a first class young woman as well.”  
– Neville Anderson, Head Coach Varsity Girls Track & Field
 
 
 
“Maxwell is proof that relentless, hard work pays off. Over the last four years, he has worked his way from participant, to letterman, now to track star status. He is the first athlete to show up before meets to help load the bus and the last to stay to help pack up for the journey home after meets. At our sectional state qualifying meet, Maxwell led all 300 intermediate hurdlers with a time of 42.05, which currently ranks #4 all-time in ACAD Track & Field history. No one on our coaching staff saw this breakout performance coming! He shows up with a great attitude, is coachable and works extremely hard. Our coaching staff & I are so proud of him. Salute to a great career young man!” 
– Neville Anderson, Head Coach Varsity Boys Track & Field
