Elkmont High School

Posted November 4, 2009

The school and town of Elkmont are a great place to put down roots. If you are origianally from Elkmont or think you are just passing through you will be suprised how sad leaving will be. You don't choose Elkmont, it chooses you. If you have problems making it a home I am sorry but it is probably you, and the last place you lived and the next place you live will be at fault for all your problems too. You do not have to kiss up as an earlier poster said but being nice helps wherever you live. Lots of activities are available for no cost and if you really want to get involved in an extracuricular activity you will pay extra anywhere you live. As a parent life should have already taught you this. If you choose to homeschool, great, the child filling your seat wants to be there.

I'm a student at Elkmont High School and I would not want to go to any other school. We have so many programs and fun acitivities. You can do mulitple sports (the kind of sports you have to try out for). The food is almost usually good and the teaching is awesome. And to the person who says you have to kiss up to the people and you cant do sports if you don't have the money shes wrong.

Advanced Diploma Course Work: High School History Department - excellent; Mr. Thompson is a Civil War expert and an engaging instructor. Foreign Language - (Spanish) very good; Mrs. Elgin is a new teacher and extremely enthusiastic. Math - Beefed up and improved; test scores reflect this. English - challenging; Mrs. Jones requires college grade work. Correct writing skills are highly stressed. Science - acceptable; needs more hands on experience. Too much book work and not enough lab work.

This a school you need to check out if you are planning a move into the area. Elkmont is a bedroom community for Decatur and Huntsville with access to I-65. Property values are affordable and are a bargain for the quality of homes. A medium size high school that is part of a K-12 campus. For multi-child families, it is wonderful, since all your children will attend the same school. Strong basic academics and competitive sports programs. The principal, Mickey Glass, is young and has brought in creative, quality staff. A great Spanish teacher which is a rarity in Northern Alabama. Come and visit a conservative community that hasn't abandoned the values of God, Family and America.
