Athletics

The school offers basketball, soccer, cross country, flag football, golf, and baseball. The team name is the Maccabees (shortened to the "Macs," carrying a Jewish background as the team bases its name off of the Jewish soldiers in the war against the Greeks). The varsity high school girls and boys teams play in Division II of the TSSAA league.

Goldie Margolin High School for Girls

The Goldie Margolin High School for Girls (GMSG) was established in 1964 as an extension of the former Memphis Hebrew Academy, created in response to a community and regional need for an Orthodox Jewish high school for girls. The current principal is Sara Plotitsa.

Cooper Yeshiva High School for Boys

The CYHSB was founded in 1966 as the Feinstone Yeshiva of the South, and was changed to the CYHSB in 1993, but kept the FYOS name for the elementary school and part of the high school. The current principal is Rabbi Yonason Gersten.

gollark: rule four. muahahaha.
gollark: Another significant issue is that I can't actually conveniently autoprovision VMs somehow, so I would either have to:- set up docker- just have people upload projects and have me manage service files- do that?
gollark: Also network bandwidth, since it's on a 34/8 home connection. That's the main limitation, really.
gollark: Wait, how much disk space does this take? My server only has 1TB.
gollark: Well, you seem to already have hosting, so I don't know why you would need osmarks.tk™ extremehosting™.
