Today we want to extend our deepest gratitude to Church of the Highlands for blessing Athens Renaissance with an incredible day of service during their annual Serve Day.

Their team showed up with willing hands and servant hearts, making a tremendous impact as we prepare to welcome students for a new school year. Volunteers helped set up learning spaces, cleaned floors, power washed sidewalks, picked up trash and debris around campus, refreshed our flower beds with mulch, and tackled countless other projects that have made our campus shine.

Your kindness will allow our students and staff to begin the year in an even more welcoming and beautiful environment. Thank you to every volunteer who gave your time, energy, and heart to Athens Renaissance. We are so thankful!!
