AGCS Making a Difference
"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members."
- Coretta Scott King
At AGCS, we strive to lead by example in getting involved and giving back to our amazing community. Our students are growing up to be strong community citizens who demonstrate our P.A.C.K. values. We're incredibly proud of our students when they take initiative – organizing food and clothing drives, volunteering, and fundraising for charities. This page is a place to celebrate how we're effecting change and making our world a better place.
