Superintendent Update: December 2024

As we approach the holiday season, I want to express my sincere gratitude for our students, faculty & staff members, families, and the local community! The human element of our district is the engine that drives us to be successful day after day.  Your dedication and resilience to educating future generations of business and community leaders is what makes the difference, and will be the very thing that pushes us through adversity in the future.

The holidays are a time to celebrate our collective achievements and look ahead to the opportunities and challenges the new year will bring. While change is on the horizon following the ad valorem school tax referendum defeat, I’m more than pleased to share that Autauga County Schools continues to make academic progress under the care of some of the best educators in the business. We are still working through what the future of our system looks like, but please know that we desire to provide our students with everything they need to be successful in school while also being cognizant that the budget balances at the end of every year. I encourage you to connect with ACS on social media and ensure that you're receiving district news like this publication as we begin to announce consolidation plans.

In many ways, the work has just begun. But together, we will do the work that is necessary to maintain a thriving system where all students are known and valued. We will continue to make the sacrifices that are required to give our students a solid educational foundation. Our students are at the center of every decision we make! May this holiday season bring you joy, peace, and quality time with your loved ones. Thank you for your continued commitment to making our schools a place where all students can thrive.

Why Not Us,

Lyman Woodfin
Autauga County Schools Superintendent
