Education


In 1902 the school was moved to 288 East Main Street. The high school program was discontinued in 1966, and the school encompassed grades K-9 until 1997. From 1997 until the spring of 2001, the school served approximately 400 students in grades K-6.
In the fall of 2001, the new K-8 Algood School on Dry Valley Road was completed. However, as Mr. Richard Norton once said, "If you build it, they will come." The K-8 concept proved very popular with both students and parents, and soon the building was filled beyond capacity.

In the spring of 2008, construction began on a new elementary school to accommodate enrollment demand. Housed on the same campus, Algood Elementary opened in the fall of 2009 and serves grades K-4. The existing building was converted to a middle school at the same time, serving grades 5-8 while still maintaining a K-8 concept.
