Athens City Schools

Empowering all students for lifelong success.

Portrait of a Graduate

PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE is a process by which we, as a community, ask, “What should a graduate of Athens City Schools look like”? What are the characteristics and skills graduates of Athens City Schools need to have to be successful in college, career, and life?

ACS Portrait of a Graduate prepares students not only for academic achievement but also for success in their personal and professional lives beyond the classroom. Locally developed and globally positioned, the Portrait of a Graduate serves as a North Star for preparing students for the incredible opportunities and challenges of today and tomorrow.
