July 8th, 2026 City of Athens Police Chief Fred Schultz, along with the District Attorney and the Director of Athens City Schools recognized local students for going above and beyond in their classrooms and beyond!

These recognitions highlight the connections between School Resource Officers and the students. These awards also demonstrate how the City of Athens TN Police Department cares about the community they love so much!

Our future is bright! Special thanks to Athens City Schools, City of Athens, Tennessee, District Attorney Stephen Hatchett, Director of Schools Joe Barnett, Athens City School Board, Athens City Council, Interim City Manager Bridgett Roberts and the men and women of the Athens Police Department for the parts that you played in allowing this to happen. A very special thank you to the parents for pouring into your children and fostering their character and compassion.
