2011-2012 brought a huge change in the way student data is managed in Alabama schools. The State Department of Education (SDE), in conjunction with Software Technology Incorporated, launched STI Now. The new student management system is able to integrate many different types of data used for reporting. The SDE requires schools to report student and teacher information to various departments. This information is used for a variety of reasons from tracking student achievement to the monitoring of a teacher's certification. One of the great additions to this software is what it offers parents.

The New Year is a time for reflection and for looking ahead and at Haleyville High School and the Haleyville Center of Technology we are very excited to begin the 2nd half of the 2011-2012 school year and we look forward to the progress that we will make over the next few months. It is our New Year’s resolution to ensure that all students continue to gain the skills to make them productive citizens but we can’t do this alone!
