Proceeds from the Alumni Awards evening supported the John Aravanis and John A. Marder Memorial Alumni Scholarships. Recipients were children of alumni and upcoming Seniors Athanasios Frangogiannis-Matsa (son of George Frangogiannis, '74) and Vicky Grant (daughter of Mary Manos, '82) at the June 2016 graduation. Students received a discount toward senior year tuition from the proceeds of certain events and kind donations from alums. We are hoping to grow this scholarship in recognition of our strong students who honor the school with their excellence, and to support alumni parents who continue their legacy at ACS Athens by enrolling their children at the school.
