Autauga Academy is a private coed PK-12 school in Prattville, Alabama, the seat of Autauga County.
History
Autauga Private Academy was founded in 1969 as a segregation academy. It is distinct from a seminary of the same name founded in 1888.
Autauga attracted the attention of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, prompting an inspection tour in 1982, along with eight other schools in Alabama
In 2011, a black student, O. J. Howard, was told by the headmaster of the school he could not bring a girl to the prom because she was white.
Since then, the headmaster of 2011 has been fired and replaced with a new one.
Notable alumni
- Will Dismukes, Republican Alabama state politician.
