Athens high school is a good school. I would dare to call it above average. Athens high school, although in one of the most impoverished towns in Ohio still has outstanding facilities, and classes you can take. I enjoy the diverse classes and the college opportunities. The school will be rebiult soon, and I am confident that it will be better than ever.

All teachers are supportive and kind. They will try to be as helpful as possible while still letting you do your own work.
