The Southland Academy Board of Trustees recognizes the importance of academic excellence and a well-rounded student. With this in mind, the board implemented the Trustees’ Honor Scholarship. This scholarship is based on the following criteria: a timed essay, test scores, academic achievement, extra-curricular activities and community service. The scholarship is awarded to a 9^th-11^th grade student and pays for half of the student’s tuition for the upcoming year.   We are pleased to announce that the recipient for the 2017-2018 school year is Savanna Katherine Banks, daughter of Shawn and Teresa Banks of Richland, Georgia.
