History
1912 - Limestone County's First High School


The first county high school to be established in Limestone County was the Limestone County High School at Elkmont, Alabama. The money for the building, nearly $10,000, was obtained from three sources: the sale of the old school building, located where the Lewis Morris home now stands; state funds; and 

private donations contributed by civic-minded citizens who were interested in obtaining the best possible educational opportunities for their children.The building, constructed in 1912, was a two-story brick structure. The second story was used as an auditorium but also included a music room, home economics room, and library. The first class, made up on only four students, graduated from Limestone County School in 1915.
