About Us

Our history...

Talladega County Central High School (TC) is a school built on a rich history of strength, courage, pride, and survival. TC, started as an idea in the minds of several concerned members of the community. The school originally started off in two rooms on the campus of Talladega College. In 1926, the land was given by the Lawson family, to build a dream school. The school’s original mission was to “Educate the Colored Children in Talladega County.” For more than 91 years the school's staff have been fulfilling the original goals set forth by its founding members. The school has undergone many changes. Our name, for instance, was once Talladega County Training School. This name reflected the many opportunities to train students to become productive members of the society through the work force. The name change occurred to reflect a more centralized view of collaboration with the current shift for college and career readiness. The original building has also undergone many modifications to enhance the beauty and usability of the building.

Our current focus...

Talladega County Central High School is rich with technology. Students first received iPad for instruction in 2013. Even though the technology was a great tool for education, the effectiveness of the device did not reflect in testing scores reported. Talladega County Central encountered a partnership with Advanced Learning in 2015. The training empowered teachers with Blended Learning opportunities.  The instruction became technology rich and student engagement increased tremendously. Teachers are able to strengthen instruction to best meet the needs of all students in each individual learning style.
