Honors Assembly 2005

The faculty of Atlanta International School believes that the successful completion of any worthwhile endeavor is reward in itself, that there is intrinsic value in each experience, which students should perceive as the reward for a job well done. Therefore, AIS participates in very few outside award programs, but encourages each student to work to accomplish the most that he or she can.
