Update: We completely understand the importance of open house, especially for students who may be in a new school building this year. While we are not able to offer a district-wide open house, individual schools may be able to reschedule tomorrow, although it may be at a different time. You will be notified by your school if that is the case. We are working on additional options as well to give students and parents peace of mind on that first day of school. At this time, more than 15,000 Cullman Electric members are without power, and that includes a number of our schools.
Open House has been canceled at all school campuses tonight (Monday 8/7/23) due to severe weather.
It was a great start to the school year! This week our faculty and staff gathered to discuss new initiatives, updates, and other important information. We are extremely thankful to Northbrook Baptist Church for welcoming us and providing such great hospitality!
Our keynote speaker at Institute is author Andy Andrews!

Preventative maintenance by our maintenance department! Phillip White spends a big part of the summer cleaning HVAC units. That means lower energy costs, better operation, and unit longevity. Based on this photo (left vs right)... we would say he's getting them pretty clean!
Unfortunately, Stephen Briscoe misspelled "Castilian" and was eliminated from the National Spelling Bee this morning. We're still so proud of your progress! Stephen is only the second Cullman County speller to make nationals in the history of the spelling bee.
Congratulations to Amy Myers, teacher at Cold Springs Elementary. She has taught Kindergarten for 30 years and is retiring. Check this out: Joanna Baty is in her last class, and Joanna's mom... Amber Nelson Baty... was in Myers' first class! #cullmancountyfamily
The new lunchroom is almost finished at Hanceville Elementary. Here's a sneak peek! It will be ready when students return this fall. A second lunchroom on the K-12 campus has been needed for decades. We're glad 2023 is the year! #cullmancountyfamily
