ACS Athens proudly hosted its first-ever Middle School Sports Celebration, marking a new chapter in the school’s athletics program.

This year saw the launch of new middle school competitive sports teams, created with a clear mission: to ensure that every student who wants to participate in athletics has a place to do so. Through this new initiative, our middle schoolers have had the opportunity to embody the values that define an ACS Lancer: discipline, effort, pride, sportsmanship, motivation, and respect.

The celebration was filled with meaningful moments, team recognitions, and special awards that celebrated not just athletic performance, but the Lancer values of discipline, effort, pride, sportsmanship, motivation, and respect. Middle School Athletes of the year was awarded to Jordan Lyles and Xinyan Mo.

The Middle School Sports Celebration is more than a first: it’s the beginning of a lasting tradition!
