MEMORIES...The annual
Athens Christian High School
Awards Banquet was held on
May 21 at the Athens Holiday
Inn. Many students were
recognized for excellence in
athletics, academics, and the
fine arts.
The seniors were especially
honored, with many receiving
appreciation awards for
faithfulness in various phases
of school life during their years
at ACS.
The seniors will soon leave
these halls of learning, but
they will depart with many
pleasant memories. ACS is a
builder of lasting and happy
memories. With the Lord in
first place, a foundation is laid
upon which unfading
memories are built.
