Dear Students and Families,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Atkinson County High School! It is my honor to serve as your principal and to continue working alongside our dedicated faculty, staff, families, and community members to support every student in reaching their full potential.
At ACHS, we are committed to academic excellence, student growth, and a culture of respect, responsibility, and resilience. Whether you are a new student just beginning your high school journey or a returning student preparing for graduation, you are a vital part of our school family. Together, we will strive to make this year filled with meaningful learning, lasting memories, and new opportunities.
This handbook is designed to help guide you through our expectations, policies, and procedures so you can succeed both in and out of the classroom. Please take time to read through it carefully and refer to it as needed throughout the year.
As we begin this new chapter, I challenge you to set high goals, take pride in your work, support one another, and make the most of your time here. We believe in you, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
Let’s make 2025–2026 the best year yet!
With Rebel Pride,
Mrs. Jill Griffis
Principal, Atkinson County High School
