Elba High School is truly the epitome of home. This school has shaped me into the person I am today. I am blessed to be involved in multiple sports and clubs that have taught me life lessons I will cherish forever. From Friday Night Lights to FCCLA competitions, the community of Elba never fails to support the students in anything they do.

It has taught me the things that I need to have in the real world. The only thing I I don't need is gemontry.

As a current student I can say that we learn nothing and the teachers could care less if we did. Overall we have maybe 2 or 3 teachers that even try.
