Southwest Georgia Academy is a college preparatory school that serves students from seven counties in grades K4 through 12th.  It begins its 38th year this fall and has grown from a faculty of 16 to over 30.

The school is located on the original site of the former Damascus High School which was donated decades ago by the Haddock Family.  Three of the original buildings are still being used.  Three charter teachers are still on board.

The school offers seven sports in team competition for boys and girls.  We have celebrated Region as well as State Championships in many of these sports.

Mr. Doug Dease currently serves as Head Master of School.  The SGA Board of Trustees consist of 9 individuals who represent each of the communities served by the school.  They meet monthly to aid in school operation.

The Philosophy of SGA is to provide an atmosphere in which the child may develop, through varied experiences, to his fullest potential so that he may more easily find his place in the world in which he lives.  We attain this atmosphere by providing a pleasant working environment with well-trained personnel, and planned, meaningful activities.

We believe:  in having a wide curriculum which will be appropriate for any person, whether he enters college or the world of work; making available extra curricular activities to help develop leadership and fellowship activities; promoting high moral, ethical, and spiritual values and emphasizing loyalty and patriotism; encourage a winning spirit and good sportsmanship in a variety of school related activities.

Our school is a small, close community organized for the purpose of educating children to the best of our abilities.
