See schedule below!

The Literary Magazine is accepting submissions!

October is the month where the leaves start to change, the temperature begins to drop, and the nights get longer. All of these changes lend themselves to an element of spookiness which is mirrored in the celebration of Halloween at the end of the month. Write a piece:

  • Where a monster is disguised as a character OR a character is disguised as a monster

  • That takes place somewhere that appears normal upon first glance, but isn’t

  • About a fall (this can be the season, an object falling, or a metaphorical fall like a fall from grace, etc.)

Submit your pieces here! You DO NOT have to respond to the prompts; submit any pieces that you have!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Monday Madness last night! It was super fun! Congratulations to the JUNIORS who won it all!

The Literary Magazine is now open for submissions!

Feel free to respond to the following prompts: 

The start of the school year is an exciting time. It is both the end of summer as well as the beginning of a new school year. To play into this contrast, write a piece:

  • Where the beginning & opening are the same, but the meaning has changed

  • About a last-minute summer vacation that does not go according to plan

  • About a character who is willing to do anything to avoid going to school

Submit your pieces here!

Submissions are due on Friday, September 19 by 4:00pm.


We are excited to offer you the opportunity to show their school spirit and purchase an official super soft, Comfort Colors 2025 Homecoming T-shirt. The price is $25 each for short sleeve pocket tee. The shirts will be delivered Thursday, October 2nd to each division’s office. All proceeds are used to fund upper school clubs and student events. If you have any questions please reach out to Brian Olson at bolson@athensacademy.org.
