William Shakespeare would be proud to be a Spartan....
Athens Academy participated in Georgia Shakespeare's Second Annual High School Competition on Saturday February 21, 2009. Several of our Upper School Students competed with a scene or monologue from the works of William Shakespeare. There were 78 students from across the state of Georgia competing in this year's event. Students participating were Billy Pate, Mary Katerine Malone, Christine Shaw, Libby Hansen, Cate Jackson, Sofie Wasserman-Smith, Ansley McAlister, and Anne Lanier Gilbert. The day's competition concluded with a showcase of selected monologues/scenes and the award ceremony. Two Athens Academy students were selected to perform in the Showcase. This honor was bestowed on Anne Lanier Gilbert and Libby Hansen. Anne Lanier was also awarded the second place medal in the female monologue division. Athens Academy, as a school, was awarded the 1st Place School Award. This ranking reflects the school with highest overall average. This indicates that the scores of the Athens Academy competitors were consistently high. Congratulations to these Spartans!
