Beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, Stratford Academy is declaring its intention to leave the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) and rejoin the Georgia Independent School Association (GISA) for athletic competition. In an announcement to families on Wednesday morning, Stratford Athletic Director, Mark Farriba, shared, “Stratford and our peer schools now feel sacrificing much of our independence to the GHSA is simply not in the best interest of our schools.” Along with Stratford, five other middle Georgia area schools will also make this move, including Mount De Sales Academy, Tattnall Square Academy, First Presbyterian Day School, Deerfield-Windsor Academy, and Strong Rock Christian Academy.

Please direct any inquiries regarding this announcement to Mark Farriba, Stratford Athletic Director.
