Saints Academy was a private 1-12 school in Lexington, Mississippi, the county seat of Holmes County.

Under principal Arenia Mallory from 1926-1977, the school added grades until it provided classes through high school. It had a national reputation for its strong academics and attracted students from outside the region, including from families who had migrated north.

Founded by the Church of God in Christ in 1918 as the Saints Industrial and Literary School, a school for black children in a segregated environment, it gradually expanded. Under principal Arenia Mallory from 1926-1977, the school added grades until it provided classes through high school. It had a national reputation for its strong academics and attracted students from outside the region, including from families who had migrated north. Later an allied junior college was founded, which was known, variously, as Saints Junior College and Academy and Saints College. It closed after Mallory's death in 1977, unable to operate with a declining black population in the area and competition with publicly funded schools. (en)
