Three Huntsville City Schools are among 32 other schools across Alabama which have been named Schools of Distinction by the Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools (CLAS). CLAS hosted an awards luncheon on May 5, 2025, in Prattville, Alabama to recognize these schools and showcase their programs and service to students.
From State School Board District 8, Schools of Distinction from HCS include Blossomwood Elementary, Monte Sano Elementary, and New Century Technology High.
“Congratulations to these wonderful Alabama public schools which provide excellent examples of the significant learning opportunities taking place in public education in Alabama. Further, the stakeholders at every school are to be commended for striving for excellence daily,” comments Vic Wilson, Ed.D., executive director of the Council for Leaders in Alabama Schools (CLAS).
The CLAS Banner School program was created in 2001 to recognize schools in Alabama that showcase outstanding programs and service to students. Each school was nominated for this award by their superintendent, with 234 schools nominated statewide.
