Social Media Guidelines & Registration

Athens City Schools requires that all social media pages/accounts that represent an official team, club, or organization affiliated with the school system be approved by the school principal and registered with the Office of Communications. The purpose is to ensure that all school-associated social media is managed, monitored, and maintained in a way that builds the ACS brand while providing trusted and accurate information. Athens City Schools currently only authorizes the establishment and use of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts on behalf of the school system. Follow the steps below to submit your Social Media Account for approval:
