👏 Our National Honor Society officers—Gaden Riquelme, Sebastian Campa, Cooper Rich, and Andrew Thong—came together for an amazing cause! These leaders organized and counted all the goods collected through their Trick or Treat service project, where NHS members went door-to-door around Athens to gather donations for local food pantries and Love in Action. A huge thank you to everyone in the community who contributed! Your generosity will help make a positive impact right here in Athens. ❤️ #HornetNation

🎉 Oops, we did it again! Senior Isaac Hoch (right) claimed the championship at Monday's UIL Congressional Debate Regional competition in Kilgore, securing a spot at the state tournament in January. Fellow senior Cooper Rich finished 7th as the second alternate. This achievement continues the extraordinary legacy of the AHS Speech & Debate program, which includes the recent UIL 4A CX state championship (the FIFTH in a decade!!) and qualifications for the NSDA National Tournament in Congressional Debate. Congratulations to our talented debaters and Coach Will Honea! #HornetNation is making waves at every level! 🐝💪

❤️ A picture doesn't do justice to the kindness on display here. More than a dozen Athens High School Key Club members spent their Saturday in service to others. These dedicated students volunteered at the Athens Soup Kitchen, sorting and distributing food parcels to support community members in need. The Key Club is a student-led organization that fosters servant-led leadership. These students make us proud. #HornetNation 🌟 #ServantLeadership
