Dr. Robin Pierce served as the Superintendent of Athens City Schools from 1973 - 2000. A few words from his obituary gives us a little insight into the work he did in moving Athens City Schools forward through the years.
"As a progressive and visionary educator, Dr. Pierce was deeply committed to the students of Athens. Under his leadership, the school system saw the addition of libraries, art and music programs, school secretaries, and bus transportation. Every school in the district earned accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools during his tenure."
He was a kind man who loved his family and was devoted to this community and its success. He will be missed. Please keep his wife of 66 years Frankie and his daughters Michelle and Penney in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate the next few days, weeks and years.
