The annual Macon East Honors Day program was a time to recognize the graduating class for their accomplishments as well as other outstanding upper school students. Representatives from many colleges were on hand to present scholarships and recognition to the seniors. The Class of 2022 earned over $3 million in academic and athletic scholarships. Seniors were also presented with their honor cords and honor graduate medallions to be worn at the commencement ceremony. Two of our elementary teachers were honored for celebrating 25 years at Macon East Academy – Mrs. Debbie Mills and Mrs. Melissa Gilmore!
