SMARTPASS DIGITAL PASS Athens High School is excited to implement a new digital hall pass system called SmartPass. This app will be downloaded to school-issued devices. SmartPass will increase class time efficiency, student accountability, and safety. Students will simply use SmartPass instead of raising a hand to receive a paper pass to leave class. Athens High School is proud to be a 21st century educational institution and we feel that SmartPass modernizes and streamlines our procedures while maximizing instructional time in the classroom.
