Autauga County Schools

The first chapel(s) in 2023 were a special and unique experience for our Upper and Lower Schools. For the first time, we held two separate chapel services - one for the Lower School, one for the Upper School. It was an incredible morning for both schools as they were spoken to, specifically, about topics relevant to their age. Our Lower School Principal, Dr. Mary Anna Martin-Smith, talked to our Lower School about what it means when the Bible references “light” and how we can be that “light” to others. Senior Pastor at First Baptist Church of Opelika, Jeff Meyers, came to speak to our Upper School to answer questions they brought to staff’s attention. Dr. Meyers talked about relationships, how the Lord views those relationships in our lives, and the wide range of how those can affect our lives in high school and beyond.
