Homecoming, Reunions & Upcoming Events

WE MISS YOU!
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, Athens Academy's 2020-21 Homecoming festivities have been postponed indefinitely. Please know that we miss our alumni and that more information on Homecoming/Alumni Weekend, class reunions, and other gatherings will be shared as soon as possible!

Homecoming/Alumni Weekend

In a typical year, Alumni Weekend is for all our alumni, alumni parents, and alumni grandparents, to reconnect with their teachers, families, and fellow students.

Homecoming Weekend kicks off with the Homecoming Parade on Friday afternoon. That evening, the Alumni Association hosts a delicious picnic is at the Reigle Indoor Baseball Facility, followed by the varsity football game. Alumni and their families join current and former faculty and staff to reconnect and visit. Alumni Class Awards are presented at halftime during the football game. Many class reunions gather during this Homecoming weekend, and campus tours are available as well!

During the halftime at the Homecoming football game, the Alumni Association welcomes all alumni and their families back to campus and honors two classes for their giving. Those awards are:

Class Reunions & Gatherings

Class Reunions are held at five-year intervals. Reunion planners are encouraged to consider holding their reunion in conjunction with the Alumni Weekend. A reunion committee consisting of several classmates will be organized to plan the event. Although unable to be in charge of each reunion, the Alumni Office will serve in an advisory capacity. For more information or to volunteer to help with a reunion, contact Alumni Coordinator Amy Chandler by email or by phone at 706-433-2406.

Alumni Gatherings are held throughout the year in various locations around the United States. We have recently enjoyed gatherings in such places as Texas, New York, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, and Georgia.
