McDuffie Achievement Center (MAC)
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear MAC Family,
We are incredibly excited to begin the 2026-2027 school year here at McDuffie Achievement Center! Our priority is to provide a positive, safe, alternative academic environment where students can obtain and master the skills necessary for academic and social success. We focus on providing every student with the assistance they need for content mastery through focused instructional time in a supportive, inclusive, and student-centered non-traditional academic setting. Students also receive support in developing and increasing their interpersonal skills to help them navigate challenging social situations to successfully transition back to their home school and matriculate toward graduation.
Working together we can make McDuffie Achievement Center a great place for students to learn and grow. Students can focus on the concepts and interpersonal skills necessary to chart their path to a successful adult life in which they are positive contributors to our global society.
I am honored to work with an amazing staff that focuses on the success of each student. We believe that consistent student attendance, along with honest, and respectful communication between home and school builds positive relationships which translate to better experiences and stronger students. If you have questions, concerns, or ideas, please contact us. Our staff members may be contacted via phone or email, and will respond to your communication in a timely manner. I look forward to a wonderful year of ACHIEVEMENT.
Sincerely,
Harold D. Sturgis, Ed. S.
Alternative Education Coordinator
