Mrs. Gia Russell

My name is Gia Russell, and I am the principal of the  Freshman Center  and an AHS Administrator. I am a proud product of Athens City Schools (Class of 1992). I have over twenty years experience in education with Athens City Schools.  My administrative experience began in 2003 and I absolutely love my job!  I work with an amazing faculty to improve student achievement. My passion is creating positive experiences with teachers and students to maximize student success. I am very excited for the new year and look forward to providing college and career opportunities to improve student achievement. I love Athens High School and work to ensure success, both athletically and academically. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the Freshman Center.
