No one should have to worry about whether they will have food on their plate or a roof over their head. As a society, we have the resources and knowledge to end hunger and homelessness — we just need the collective will to make these ideas a reality.

Thank you, Veterans, for your service to our nation!

Phillips High: During a tour of the State House and the Capital hosted by Representative Tracy Estes, students received historical information concerning the history of our State Capital building and the current State House facility. In addition, our students learned about the process of how a bill is introduced to the legislature and how it may or may not become law.
They’re more than just teachers. They’re counselors, coaches, mentors, and friends. They deserve a full month of gratitude from all of us. Give your own heartfelt thanks to the special teachers in your life or share some kind words on social media. Thank you, Alabama Teachers!
A group of Marion County 4-H students traveled to Warrior Mountain Farms/Timber Rattlin Kennels. They visited with the cattle, hand fed them, branded a piece of oak for a souvenir, and learned about seed stock operations and the artificial insemination program. They also learned about competition hunting, coon hunting in general, and met Gold Champion GRNTCH Timber Rattlin Bookie. They had a great time!
We appreciate our Principals and the jobs they do!
