        Dr. David McCoy

        Founder/Gone but Not Forgotten

        Dr. David McCoy served the Lord faithfully here at Peoples Baptist Church and Academy for forty years until the Lord took him to Heaven in September of 2021. He and his wife, Mrs. Trish McCoy, founded Peoples Baptist Academy in 1995. Dr. McCoy's life's verse was Psalm 84:11: "For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." Through that verse, Pastor McCoy strived to educate with eternity in view and teach that, truly, it pays to serve God. To let you get to know who he was (and what his sense of humor was like). . .

        Where We Are Located

        Located close to I-75, our 117-acre campus is located on Mill Road between Exits 218 and 221 on the south side of Atlanta, approximately 25 minutes from downtown.


        From I-75S, take Exit 221, bear right, and turn left at the first red light, which is Mill Road. Once you pass through the four-way stop, the academy is located approximately one mile on the right.


        From I-75N, take Exit 218, turn left to cross over the interstate, then turn right onto Hwy 81 (also called Hampton-McDonough Road; Race Trac is on the corner). Approximately  two miles on the right, turn right onto Mill Road. The academy is located 1/4 mile on the left.


        As a cut-through between the two exits, Peoples Baptist Academy is easily accessible and highly visible.

        Check out our video to see firsthand the sprawling campus we call home; or better yet, come to see us and

        take a tour. We would love to meet you.



        Why We Are Unique

        As a ministry of Peoples Baptist Church, whose long-time motto has been "where families are important and friendliness makes the difference," we enthusiastically minister to people of all ages. Opportunities for learning and growing abound--mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.


        Our academics are some of the strongest in the state, with PBA students placing in academic testing competitions each year. SAT and ACT prep is a priority and two days per week are allocated for concentrated study for college entrance exams. Students have been granted as much as $250,000 in scholarships, and annually we receive reports of students who have been able to exempt freshman English and math because of their high scores.


        A full sports program allows both guys and girls to enjoy the sport of their choice. Football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, soccer, and cheering insure that an exciting sports program is enjoyed throughout the school year, with Peoples Baptist Academy playing host to many of the state-wide tournaments.


        Emotionally and spiritually, our students enjoy a Bible-based curriculum, weekly chapels, varied opportunities to

        serve, the love and support of teachers and coaches, and a chance to learn and grow with some of the best and

        most talented role models anywhere.






        What We Deliver

        As a school, we believe that we should teach students not only how to make a living but also how to live. Knowing that we will all stand before God one day, it is our desire to equip students for this world and even better prepare them for the next. Offering a well-rounded education in an atmosphere conducive to learning, we deliver college-prep academics, an impressive fine arts program, and a competitive sports program, all within a godly environment with a biblical worldview.


        We feel that what we do here on earth matters on all levels, and we take it seriously. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to providing young people with all the tools they will need to make it in this world and to make an impact on this world. We have produced and                                      continue to produce Christian young people who are outstanding citizens and who are making

        a difference.
