The Morgan County education system offers incredible and unparalleled opportunities for your child. Morgan County boast some of the most respected education systems in Alabama, known statewide for turning out students who have the education it takes to excel in today's fast-paced world. The percent of students going on to post-high school education is above the national average, as are the test scores of its students. Teachers are highly trained and many are Nationally Board Certified. With academic achievement being the most important, the focus is on developing the whole person through academic performance, extracurricular activities (sports, school clubs, band), community involvement (church, clubs, work, volunteering) and leadership opportunities (team captain, club president, class officer). Young men and women who are active and involved are more competitively considered for college admission, scholarships and grants.  Because the smaller size of our schools and classrooms, most students have the opportunity to participate in whatever their talent and/or interest may be.  Participation in extracurricular activities and clubs has the added advantage that allows another coach, educator, mentor to be involved in the development of our children.  Between the high level of academics, active community involvement, modern and safe buildings, and a focus on developing the whole child, schools in Morgan County provide an excellent choice for the education of your child.
