Head of School Letter

a message from the HEAD OF SCHOOL

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since my family and I joined the Lee-Scott Academy family to serve as Head of School. So much has happened on our campus and in the lives of our students and families during that time – yes, even surviving a pandemic!

We open the doors this fall celebrating 40 years of Lee-Scott Academy! In 1981, two independent schools, Lee Academy of Auburn and Scott Preparatory School of Opelika, merged to become Lee-Scott Academy. The strong traditions of academic excellence and emphasis on Christian values of both schools continue as the hallmarks of LSA.

While the school’s location, curriculum, facilities, and faculty have changed considerably since 1981, the consistency and permeance of the LSA mission is one of the essential qualities that parents have always valued most about LSA.

This year, as we commemorate the 40th anniversary of Lee-Scott Academy, we honor our history and look forward to an even brighter future. We will rely on the continued generosity of those who believe in the enduring mission and values of Lee-Scott Academy.

Many thanks to each of you for being part of the LSA story. Your generous giving, year after year, allows us to do things that otherwise would not be possible.

Your gifts allowed us the flexibility to respond to the changing needs of our school, our students, our teachers and our families. And your generosity continues to inspire us to deliver the quality of education and experience that is Lee-Scott - regardless of the method of delivery. Never have the words learn, lead, succeed meant more.

Please know that our entire school community joins me in saying thank you for keeping the mission first established in 1981 by the school’s founders alive today - and well into the future. We are ever grateful for your loyal support as we continue to find the best and most innovative way to embrace the world of teaching and learning.

LSA was recognized at the Auburn Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Meeting and received the Spirit of Auburn Award. The award was presented to LSA for service to the Auburn community during the pandemic in the area of education. With appreciation,

Dr. Stan Cox Head of School
