Macon East Academy is proud to recognize the graduating Class of 2021. The 36-member class earned approximately $3.1 million in merit-based and athletic scholarships. Members of the Class of 2021 were accepted to a total of 54 colleges and universities. In their senior year, the Class of 2021 led the athletics program to State Championships in boys basketball and a state runner-up title in softball. Six members of this year’s class have signed athletic scholarships to participate at the collegiate level. Will Desmarais addressed the class as Valedictorian, and Jonathan Mathis gave the Salutatory address. Each graduate is representative of the high standards of academic achievement, student life, and Christian values that are the foundation of Macon East Academy. We are proud of these graduates and ready to see them lead the way.

Rachel Major represented Macon East Academy at this year’s Alabama Girls State held on the campus of The University of Alabama. Alabama Girls State continues to be the primary youth leadership program for young women in Alabama. The goal is to learn the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship in order that they may understand and participate in the functioning of their government and to help them grasp the meaning of some of the responsibilities they must assume as they become adults. The American Legion Auxiliary Girls State program operates through a nonpartisan curriculum where students assume the roles of government leaders to become mayors and county and state officials of their Alabama Girls State. Rachel was elected Mayor of her city and thoroughly enjoyed meeting new friends and had an incredible experience.  We are so proud of you, Rachel, we look forward to your future leadership at Macon East Academy!
