Public Education Changes

The community is continually changing.  We have gone from the early settler’s days of homesteads, the timber industry, dairy farming and the nursery industry and a bed and breakfast community that has become a City. The nursery industry still is the major industry that exists; however, most of the land has gradually been absorbed into homes large and small. The population growth has brought a Regional Public Library, banks, doctor offices, restaurants, large and small businesses and services and new schools.

Public Education in Semmes   has changed from an humble beginning of a one room school (15 students) to two elementary schools, Allentown (796 students); Semmes Elementary (560 students); Semmes Middle School (1,500 Students); Mary G.  Montgomery High School with over 2,000 students is one of the largest in the Mobile County Public School System.  MGM is a  Signature Academy School.

School Academies of MGM Include Signature Academy of Biomedical Sciences; Academy of Business Leadership; Academy of Engineering Sciences; Academy of Faulkner Career Technical Center, and Academy of Liberal and Fine Arts.  MGM has an outstanding Agriscience Department applying science to agriculture.

The interesting thing about life is the things we think are so modern today will one day be considered history, of the past and even old fashioned.  Nevertheless, it is good to remember our past history as we move forward.
