Faith Academy

Faith Academy is an independent, religious, co-educational private school in Mobile, Alabama, United States. It received national attention from 2023-2026 when a guidance counselor and mandated reporter, Carrie Meredith, failed to report her knowledge that Jonathan Sauers, a 44 year old teacher and soccer coach, raped a 16 year old student. When Meredith was convicted, the school distributed a communication notifying parents that the school stood behind Carrie Meredith. This notification, which identified Carrie Meredith as a victim that all should keep in their prayers, made no mention of the 16 year old student who was raped.
