Southern Preparatory Academy

At Southern Preparatory Academy, we have so much to be thankful for. We have an outstanding and passionate alumni base and a fantastic Corps of Cadets. Most importantly, the academy has an incredible mission, which hasn't changed since its founding in 1898.

Each and every day, Cadets on campus learn the leadership skills and necessary academics to be successful through whichever path a cadet might choose after graduation, no matter if it is immediately joining the workforce, enrolling in a college or university, or enlisting in the Armed Forces.

Simply, this school changes lives and we hope you will support us this #GivingTuesday!





About Giving Tuesday:

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past seven years, it has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Help us make history! For the first time in school history, the Southern Prep Rangers football team  is heading to the 8-man National High School Football Tournament in Panama City, Florida. 

The Rangers currently have a 6-3 record, including three shut outs for the 2019 season. 



A message from Head Coach Roland Bell...

A little about our team. Our players are from all over the U.S. as well as a couple other countries. We don't get to work with them all summer like most schools. We get them together in early August and start games a couple weeks later. They come in as individuals and must quickly form a team.

Last year we set two scoring records (64 points in a single game and average points per game at 35). We focused on just getting a little better every day.

This year we set another school record for largest margin of victory in a 61-0 win. We recorded 3 shutouts on defense which hasn't happened in 26 years. We won 6 games which is the most wins in a season since 1979 (40 years). We also were invited to the 8-man National Championship Tournament which is a national playoff. This is the first time our school has made any kind of playoff since 1969 (50 years).

We are hoping to do something that has NEVER been done at our school... Win a playoff game. I knew when I interviewed for this coaching job what the history was. Several people told me that the school can't win in football. But, these boys are special. They work hard and THEY ARE WINNERS!!! I'm proud of our Southern Prep Academy Rangers! RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!!!
