High School

Seniors, Tanner Moore and Georgia Blaze represented Macon East Academy at the 62nd annual Jimmy Hitchcock Memorial Award ceremony. Since 1959, the objective of the Jimmy Hitchcock Memorial Award program has been to recognize Christian leadership in athletics and to encourage and inspire others to emulate the man whose memory is perpetuated by this award. Each year coaches nominate senior athletes who have displayed the most outstanding qualities of Christian leadership in athletics and possess the following qualities: strong character, dependability, 100% effort, team leadership, church leadership, school leadership, and scholastic leadership. Freshman students who exhibit these same qualities are also invited to attend the annual banquet and be recognized. This year, Katie Kitchens and Chase Lashlee represented Macon East Academy as 8th-grade certificate recipients. We are very proud of Tanner, Georgia, Chase and Katie who are all honored to be part of a prestigious group of Hitchcock nominees.

The Macon East Junior / Senior Prom was held on April 17th at the RSA Plaza Terrace in downtown Montgomery. An evening full of fun and dancing was enjoyed by everyone. The theme was Dripping in Luxury. Members of the Class of 2021 and their escorts were recognized at the senior lead-outs. Mrs. Karen Harris, prom sponsor, along with Mary Hunter Wright and the prom committee, planned an entertaining night for all the juniors, seniors, and their guests with entertainment from Top Tier Entertainment. As the evening ended, Mary Hunter Wright and Cole Carmack were crowned Prom Queen and King.

Two outstanding students from the Macon East Academy senior class were chosen for the Montgomery Lions Club Scholarship. To have two students from one school is unprecedented for this prestigious scholarship. Mary Hunter Wright and Tanner Moore were selected as two winners out of the six total for the Montgomery area. They were selected to attend the Lions Club high school leadership conference as juniors and competed to win these outstanding scholarships. Congratulations to both Mary Hunter and Tanner – we are very proud of you!
