After many hours of planning and organizing, I stepped outside for some fresh air and saw a complete rainbow. I was reminded of a simple but encouraging promise. 

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning, great is His faithfulness.”
                                                                                                                                                 Our nation and around the world folks are experiencing an unprecedented challenge concerning the COVID-19. As a result of public schools/charters closures, our local, state and Federal government have worked hard to provide flexibility in academic assignments & location (e.g. at home) for our districts. 

The Arizona Department of Education’s Health and Nutrition Services (HNS) team is working with district and charter leaders on steps we can take to ensure that schools who qualify continue to offer meals to our students AND to any child 18 and under. As a result, Southgate Academy is grateful to offer free breakfast, lunch and snacks not only to our students but any child under the age of 18. I would ask all parents and community members that keep in touch through our website to please let families know we are offering these programs FREE OF CHARGE whether they attend Southgate or not. Making sure our children receive nutritional meals is a top priority and we are thankful for the opportunity to serve our community in this fashion. For complete details, please click COVID-19. 

At the end of every storm, there is rainbow. 

Sherry Hasson, 

 Founder

       Founded by Sherry Hasson in 1999, Southgate Academy opened its doors in September 2000.  The Academy is committed to serving the unique needs of the community.  As an alternative school, we believe that all students have the right to learn and are able to demonstrate a higher level of academic achievement and personal integrity to family, community, school and self, through an integrated educational experience.

         “As the founder of Southgate Academy and the MACILOS Program, I am led by the heart, not by the mechanics.  I strongly believe that if you can win the heart of a child, you will be a tool that is used to bring them a vision for success.  It doesn’t matter what ethnic background a child is from, the financial status of their parents or what side of town a child lives on, single family home or homeless, ‘Win their heart and they will respect and trust your leadership.’ ”
