Atchison County Community High School is located in Effingham. Effingham is very small. The school takes in all of Atchison County with the exception of the city of Atchison. The school has gone by ACCHS for 50 years. The district stretches from the city limits of Horton to the Leavenworth county line, so many people do not prefer the school being referred to as Effingham when it is really ACCHS. Howwver some people shorten the abbreviation to Atchison, which is a completely different school. This makes others just prefer to call it Effingham.
