Chosen by every visitor's vote, People's Choice has been a favorite part of the AHSAE for over a decade.

After experiencing considerable hardship with the Buckhead store catching fire this fall, Binders still came through for the AHSAE this year! Binders donated $500 for the Best school as well as supply support for Art Throwdown! Thank you!


Thank you from Georgia teachers and artists!!
