Mrs. Trull started each class with a devotional, and I have continued this practice of starting my day with God in college. Mrs. Bishop taught me not only the importance of descriptive writing in English but also the importance of teamwork through cheer. Mrs. Summer encouraged my love for art, and as a coach, she taught me to always do my very best in all that I do. 📣 Join us in celebrating Kaiden’s amazing accomplishments and bright future! #MEAproud #StudentSpotlight #CollegeSuccess #MEAAlumni #RollTide #HumanDevelopment #LeadershipInAction #FaithAndExcellence (fb)

🌟 Congratulations to our 2025 Sagamore Award winners! 🌟 At Macon East Academy, the Sagamore Award is one of our most cherished traditions. What makes it so meaningful is that recipients are nominated by their peers—students who recognize those among them who consistently live with integrity, kindness, and selflessness. This is more than an award; it's a celebration of character. Our students are learning that putting God first, others second, and themselves third is a way of life that makes a difference. The heart of the Sagamore spirit is captured in the Sagamore Creed: "As a Sagamore, I will be worthy of trust, I will love the world around me, and each new day will bring new adventures. I will do what needs to be done without being asked. I am happy with life and with myself, yet I will always try harder to be the best I can be. All this because God, The Great Spirit, is most important to me; The other fellow is second only to Him; and I am third. I am a Sagamore." We are so proud of these students and the values they represent. 💙 #SagamoreAward #MaconEastAcademy #CharacterMatters #StudentLeadership (fb)
