• Curriculum and Instruction

     

    The Hale County School System diligently commits to implementing a curriculum that prepares the students to meet the challenging needs of our global society.  The coursework offered to students is within the state guidelines offering for each grade level. The school system ensures classroom instruction is aligned to the standards outlined in the Alabama Courses of Study for each subject area. 

     

    It is the mission of the Hale County School System to ensure that all students are provided the opportunity to participate in rigorous academic, technological, and workforce skills that meet their interests.  It is our goal to prepare students for postsecondary offerings such as continued education, work or the armed forces.  When students exit the Hale County School System, we know that ESSA (Every Student Succeeding Act) has been accomplished through the rigorous curriculum and instruction provided to our students.
