Dear Troy Athens High School Community,

Welcome to this week’s update! As we continue strengthening communication with our families, we are shifting from a monthly newsletter to a weekly newsletter. This new format will allow us to share timely celebrations, reminders, and highlights from across Red Hawk Nation.

The first weeks of November have been filled with remarkable accomplishments. Our boys soccer team capped a memorable season with a trip to the state semifinals. We also celebrate impressive All-State individual honors earned by members of our tennis, golf, and cross country programs, along with a regional champion in diving—outstanding achievements from our student-athletes.

A huge congratulations to the Athens Theatre Company for an exceptional production of The Brothers Grimm. Their talent, creativity, and hard work truly shined on stage.

As we look ahead, our winter sports seasons begin this week, including basketball, wrestling, bowling, boys swimming, and gymnastics. We are excited to cheer on our teams as they launch their seasons.

Have a fantastic week—and as always, Keep Pointing Positive, Go Red Hawks!
