EDUCATION: The Alexander City School System consists of one senior high school, one middle school and three elementary schools. The system was the first in the state to have all schools designated as demonstration sites for the nationally recognized Alabama Reading Initiative.  In 2005, the system was the first city school system in the state and nation to be awarded District Accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) with annual recognition as a Quality District. Beginning with the 2007-2008 school year, an Engineering Academy was implemented at the high school with Auburn University's College of Engineering to pair high school courses of AP biology, AP calculus and physics through which joint projects are completed by students from the high school and the University.  The Alexander City Schools Education Foundation recently completed the campaign for $1 million to be used to make ALL core academic classrooms equipped with the most current and applicable technology to expand the learning opportunity for ALL students to the world stage.
