Modern History
In 1990, a new classroom building, Sheridan Hall, was completed and dedicated on the site of the original boarding school building. In addition to classrooms, the building houses a computer lab, administrative offices and a chapel. The building was the newest and most modern building on the campus until the completion of the Zuver Performing Arts Center in 2004. The site for the school's athletic complex, located near Macon State College, was acquired and dedicated in 1996, and was fully completed in 2002 with the opening of the field house. The athletic complex, named Cavalier Fields, is home to the school's football stadium and practice fields, soccer, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts and track. The site also includes a concession stand and patio as well as a practice cross country course. In the 2010 Cross country season the course will be used for racing.
The completion of the Zuver Center in 2004 expanded the classroom space for art, drama, and music programs.
In 2008, a new student parking lot was added on Columbus Street and there are plans for a new, $4.7 million middle school building that will be built where Burke Hall and Bonaventure Hall are currently located and require those buildings to be removed.
