Oh, what a night! If you missed the ACIS Talent show you missed an amazing night of students on the stage. So proud of all the students who tried out, worked hard, and got up in front of a large crowd of families and friends to share their gifts. A huge shout out and THANK YOU to all the ACIS Staff who worked to put on the show, the Athens City Intermediate School PTO who puts in countless hours to provide for the students of ACIS, and all who came out to support the students.

Athens City Intermediate School has been given the honor of being a Purple Star school for their continued efforts to support students who are a part of Military Families. This morning an assembly was held where students spoke about sacrifices made and the hard parts of family being away. The highlight of the assembly was the reunification of a student with his father, Sergeant First Class Richard Dukes. Thank you to all Military Families for your service.

It was a little wacky and tacky at ACIS on Wednesday. #ExcellenceIsACI
