Mr. Justin Smith
Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to work for you all at Athens High School!
It has always been a dream of mine to work in my hometown. My family and I were so pleased to move to Athens in 2012 and be apart of this community and school system. I have been a classroom science teacher since November of 2002. After moving to Athens, I taught at Athens Middle School for three years, and I have been at Athens High School since 2015. In 2017, I was honored to be selected as Teacher of the Year by my peers. I currently teach biology in the Freshman Academy, and I am the Freshman Class Sponsor.
