aboutus

The Andrew Jackson Davidson club was founded in 2019 by advisor Angela Hall. Every year, a new group of eighth grade students are selected and invited to join the club. The club meets regularly and chooses projects to undertake each year. These projects are specifically focused on race, culture, social change, and community. The club collaborates with local historians, experts, and educators to learn more about their chosen topic. Each project ends with an event that is open to the community, and these events are always a great success!

Meet Our Advisor

Angela Hall

Angela Hall, or Mrs. Hall to her students, is a beloved long time eighth grade US History teacher at Athens Middle School. In the summer of 2018, Angela attended a conference in which she learned about the National History Day competition. That fall, she selected a few of her students to participate in the regional National History Day competition. The students did very well and some groups advanced to the state competition, where two groups were given special awards for their outstanding work. One year later, she founded the Andrew Jackson Davidson club which has been operational ever since. In addition to founding and advising these two clubs, Angela coaches the middle school cross country and cheer teams, and has organized the annual eighth grade Washington DC trip.
