Alumni

The Macon East Alumni Association held a Grand Opening of the Alumni House to kick off homecoming festivities Friday morning.  Alumni House welcomed alumni home to view donated Macon Academy and Macon East Academy memorabilia, awards, photos, jerseys, and so much more! Over 100 items were donated to the Alumni House to help preserve and share the history of our school with all generations and enhance our reunion programs. Class of 2015 alumni, Anna Marie Herrington was on hand with her family hosting a pumpkin sale.  An alumni tent was set up with food for classmates, faculty, and friends on the softball field to enjoy fellowship during the game. This event successfully brought 225 alumni and their families to campus. At halftime, attending alumni homecoming queens were recognized.  Mrs. Martha Hornsby crowned this year’s queen.  Alumni Homecoming Queens in attendance were: Georgia Blaze (2020), Kayla Boroff (2019), Bailey Nyberg (2018), Madison McKee (2017), Crystal Tompkins Davis (2002), Katie Gothard McDaniel (2006), Whitney Phillips Brooks (2001), Lauren Lane Bannon (2000), Olivia Cox (1999),  Christine Segrest Cook (1988), Missy Lawrence Key (1986), Martha Sheppard Hornsby (1970), and Debbie Doster Barnett (1969).

Ending Homecoming Week, the Alumni participated in the 2nd annual Flag Football game on Sunday.  Kirkland Pugh (2021), Cole Pinkston (2012), Kyle Loomis (2005), Dean Bolden (2005), Bubba Pugh (2015), Kyle Dyer (2001), Ryan Gholston (1999), Austin Redding (2012), Kalan POOKIE Sides (2000), and Will Graham (2015) all showed up to support our efforts in building a strong Alumni Association.

The pride, love, and excitement over the efforts to create a home for our alumni was overwhelming and Evan Perry Taylor did a tremendous job in executing the vision.

We are excited to expand our campus for the future and offer our students one of the best and newest facilities in the area. Construction has been underway on the Macon East Knights Multi-Purpose Activity Center featuring 7500 square feet of amenities for the entire school.  With its initial open-space design, the multi-purpose activity center has an extraordinary opportunity to be the new AISA district host to the spelling bee and science fair, as well as many other school events.  It will also be home to an all-sport training facility with indoor, retractable batting cages for baseball and softball.  Finally, there will be new, expanded restroom facilities to service the football, baseball, and softball complex.

Headmaster Glynn Lott and the Board of Trustees have been planning this development for several years with the vision of adding academic instructional space as the school grows. The new building has the potential to house eight additional classrooms and will serve as an investment not only in the campus, but in the students and faculty that comprise it. Students in K3 – 12th grade will be able to enjoy the multi-purpose activity center beginning the second semester of this school year.

Headmaster Glynn Lott and the Board of Trustees would like to extend a special thank you to everyone involved in making this vision a reality.
