We are a community of excellence where:

• High achievement is the standard;

• Students are motivated and challenged in a safe, fun environment that nurtures lasting memories;

• Families, staff, and students unite to build a community that contributes to a lifetime of learning.

Athens-Chilesburg Elementary opened in 2006 as a replacement school for Athens Elementary. ACE, as it is referred to, combined students from old Athens with children from the areas surrounding the new building. All of these families came together to create a new school community where "Excellence for All" is the vision.
