Deerfield-Windsor School is an independent K–12 coeducational college preparatory school in Albany, Georgia, United States.
History
Deerfield-Windsor School was founded in 1964 when eight men, led by William T. Bodenhamer, set out to establish a college preparatory school in Albany. They named their school Deerfield. The name Deerfield-Windsor School was chosen as a result of the 1978 merger of Deerfield School and Windsor Park Academy.[3]
The school was founded as a segregation academy, but now has a non-discriminatory admissions policy.[4] In the 2015-16 school years, 40 of 709 students in grades 1-12 were black.[2]
Athletics
The school offers football, softball, basketball, swimming, soccer, cross country, wrestling, track, baseball, golf, and tennis.
