What is your favorite memory during your time as a student at the Anniston Academy/The Donoho School?
Being a student in a small school gave me the opportunity to know my classmates and teachers very well. The teachers were so supportive and I loved cheering at soccer and basketball games. Finally being able to be in the “senior lounge” was a real treat and being part of a class of nine made it feel as if we were one family.
