Alma Mater
In the midst of Georgia Pines there stands a school so rare,
Full of students and of teachers; they all really care.
Bulloch, Bulloch our Academy; we do love you so,
We will never lose our memories anywhere we go.
High values we will carry with us as we seek life’s goals,
Fond emotions linger ever deep within our souls.
Bulloch, Bulloch, our Academy; we do love you so,
We will never lose our memories anywhere we go.

History of BA
54 years ago, Bulloch Academy was founded because of a mother’s love and concern for her children’s educations. Now, half a century later, we’re continuing that legacy by challenging, teaching, and nurturing tomorrow’s leaders.
