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 the JCC Varsity basketball 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 Dov Rossman.

Boarding

The school includes a boarding facility. ^[4]
