East Memorial Christian Academy receives AISA Blue Ribbon School Award

The Alabama Independent School Association has announced that East Memorial Christian Academy has attained the AISA Blue Ribbon School Designation for the 2009-2010 school year.

An AISA Blue Ribbon exemplifies excellence in teaching, student performance, school life, and school and community interaction. A Blue Ribbon School award winner is an excellent school involved in an ongoing process of school improvement.

The AISA has been steadfast in its efforts since 1970 to maintain an organization of independently operated non-public schools that are rich in diversity, committed to academic excellence, and deeply concerned about the growth and development of children and youth. The association’s goal is to provide quality educational opportunities for those parents choosing an alternative to public education.

The AISA Blue Ribbon School program is sponsored by the AISA to recognize member schools with outstanding educational programs.  East Memorial Christian Academy has attained a high level of excellence in the areas of student and teacher performance, plant and facilities, student life, and community involvement and is a very worthy recipient of the AISA Blue Ribbon School Award. 

Administrator Jerry Watkins was pleased with the award.  “This award recognizes the efforts that the faculty, staff and student body have put forth toward making East Memorial Christian Academy an excellent place to be.  I am personally pleased that we have made the grade.”

Other schools from the tri-county area receiving the award are Edgewood Academy, Evangel Christian Academy, Macon-East Montgomery Academy.
