Our Back to School Conference is in the books!📚 We want to give a huge thank you to our educators and administrators for making today such a success! You are laying the foundation for a wonderful school year, and it’s clear that “Alabama has something to say!” We can’t wait to see our classrooms filled up again in just a few short days!

When you're family🏠 ... Hueytown Intermediate recently celebrated House Day by officially sorting Superintendent Dr. Gonsoulin into one of their six houses. With a spin of the wheel, he became a proud member of Reveur—a house for dreamers who pursue their goals with passion. Sounds like the perfect fit, right? The Hueytown Intermediate family also celebrated Dr. G's achievement as National Superintendent of the Year! They cheered, danced, and gave him a special banner to mark the occasion. Dr. G is honored to be part of the Hueytown Intermediate family and couldn't be prouder of the students and staff who make this school such a special place.👏💙
