Service & Leadership

 
To Be A Spartan is to Serve
 
The students of Athens Academy were working on leadership and service before the 2023-2024 school year even began!  Fifty one students, 9th – 12th grades, registered to participate in a Leadership & Service Retreat on August 11, 2023. This amazing all day event was held in the Harrison Center activity room.  In addition to learning about leadership styles and club organization, students participated in several ACAD community service projects such as making welcome signs for the school entrances, Spartan lawn signs supporting positive attitudes, and a landscape beautification project.  Some student responses were “I thought this retreat was valuable!”, “ This retreat gave me insight into what being a leader is like at Athens Academy”, and “I loved how the faculty encourages us to be leaders and supportive of each other.”  Faculty Sponsors of this campus event were Beth Farmer, Brian Olson, and Lorraine Thompson.
 
We have had a strong ACAD presence in this group for several years and our students have benefitted from the experience. The Junior Board is responsible for some $30,000 dollars each year which they allocate to a variety of historic preservation projects after reviewing grant applications and making site visits. There are also educational benefits as well.

Service & Leadership

 
To Be A Spartan is to Serve
 
The students of Athens Academy were working on leadership and service before the 2023-2024 school year even began!  Fifty one students, 9th – 12th grades, registered to participate in a Leadership & Service Retreat on August 11, 2023. This amazing all day event was held in the Harrison Center activity room.  In addition to learning about leadership styles and club organization, students participated in several ACAD community service projects such as making welcome signs for the school entrances, Spartan lawn signs supporting positive attitudes, and a landscape beautification project.  Some student responses were “I thought this retreat was valuable!”, “ This retreat gave me insight into what being a leader is like at Athens Academy”, and “I loved how the faculty encourages us to be leaders and supportive of each other.”  Faculty Sponsors of this campus event were Beth Farmer, Brian Olson, and Lorraine Thompson.
 
We have had a strong ACAD presence in this group for several years and our students have benefitted from the experience. The Junior Board is responsible for some $30,000 dollars each year which they allocate to a variety of historic preservation projects after reviewing grant applications and making site visits. There are also educational benefits as well.
