Building a Sense of Belonging

At Southgate Academy, we’re more than just a school – we’re a community where every child feels valued and supported. Our mission is to provide a safe, welcoming environment where students not only learn but also grow as confident, responsible citizens.

We know that every student learns differently, and we’re here to meet them where they are. Whether it’s academic progress or personal growth, we celebrate every achievement, big or small.

“ 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.”

- Sherry Hasson, Founder
