Lee-Scott Academy

Dear LSA Graduates,

It is with mixed emotions that I sit down to write a letter to you. As we embark upon the last few days with one another, it has caused me to spend some significant time reflecting on your school experience, your future endeavors and the school’s role in both of these. While what the next phase of your life will hold for you is extremely exciting to me, I am saddened to think that our daily interactions will soon come to a halt. While I am hopeful for what your contributions of leadership, citizenship, passion, hard work and dedication will bring to our community, I am apprehensive about the absence of your lead-by-example character, attitude and presence here at LSA. While I am inspired by the opportunities and successes that lie before you, I am still in awe of those you have left as your legacy in our halls, on our walls and in our hearts. While we thank you for what you have done to leave your indelible mark upon our school, we want to encourage, support and have hopefully prepared you to make an even larger mark on our society.

You will always be a Warrior ... be proud of that. This will always be a home for you ... please visit often. Please know how much all of you mean to me. Thank you Class of 2022. You have left a mark on Lee-Scott Academy and you have left a mark upon my heart. I care about each of you and I will miss you all. I wish you the very best of luck and look forward to all that your class will accomplish in the future.

Go Warriors! Dr. Stan Cox Head of School

Well Done Class of 2022!

I

n 1981, two independent schools, Lee Academy of Auburn and Scott Preparatory of Opelika, merged to become Lee-Scott Academy. Located “on The Plains” in Auburn, Alabama, LSA enrolls over 735 Pre-K through 12th grade students from Auburn, Opelika and surrounding communities as well as international students.

LSA is dually accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and Cognia (AdvancED). It

holds memberships with the Alabama Independent School Association (AISA), Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS), Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and The College Board. It recognizes the accomplishments of its students in the following honor societies: National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society, English Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, Rho Kappa National Social Studies Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica, International Thespian Society and Tri-M Music Honor Society.

The strong traditions of academic excellence and emphasis on Christian values of both schools continue as the hallmarks of LSA. By combining an outstanding faculty and curriculum with a family atmosphere, LSA is one of the finest independent schools in the Southeast. Our faculty and staff strive to inspire students to seek their full potential in academics, the arts and athletics in a challenging and nurturing environment that cultivates social responsibility, mutual respect and personal integrity in a school community that promotes Christian principles.
