Algood’s School History
In the fall of 2001, the new Algood School on Dry Valley Road was completed, catering to students from kindergarten to eighth grade. The K-8 concept proved very popular with both students and parents, and true to the words of Mr. Richard Norton, “If you build it, they will come.” soon the building was filled beyond capacity, housing both brilliant teachers and students alike. So, we continued to build.
In the spring of 2008, construction began on a new elementary school to accommodate the increased enrollment demand. Housed on the same campus, Algood Elementary opened in the fall of 2009 for K-4 students. To complement this new building, we converted the original school building into Algood Middle School for our 5-8 grade students. This allows us to continue to offer the thorough and proven K-8 concept, while also accommodating our growing student population.
