Mrs. Patty Webb, Head of School, is pleased to announce that Ethan Beck has been
named Southland Academy’s STAR student for the graduating class of 2025. Ethan is
the son of Ms. Jennifer Beck of Americus and Mr. Joshua Beck of South Carolina. The
STAR Student academic award is given to the senior who has the highest SAT score in
one sitting and is ranked in the top 10 students or top ten percent of the school’s
graduating class.
The STAR student has the privilege of naming a STAR teacher who has had a major
influence on his life. Ethan selected Coach Mike Smith as his STAR teacher. Coach
Smith has coached Ethan in Wrestling and Football, and also taught him in PE at
Southland Academy.
We congratulate Ethan and Coach Smith on this wonderful honor.
