Hubbertville School

I am a graduate from Hubbertville as well as my children. Is the school perfect? Absolutely not. However, my children, myself, and many more have gone on to major university and completed 4 and 6 year degrees without any problems. I was an athlete as well as my children. I don't recall any special privileges when it came to academics. We earned what we got. However, many hours in addition to the regular school day was spent which helped us become dedicated, and dependable individuals. What did we gain by being a participate in the athletic program, winning records, area champs,state playoffs, memories, and life lessons. Hubbertville School has a safe environment for students. Education is like any thing else - you get out of it whatever you are willing to put in to it!!!!

The teachers at this school for the most part are great. They work and go far beyond what most would to help the students. However the principal of the school, Tim Dunavant, is the worst choice ever. There have been kids beyond violent in the school and his answer is in school suspension, so they can clean the school. Hubbertville is supposed to be a zero tolerance, but apparently the administration doesn't understand what this means. The asst. principal however is wonderful, but it is true that one person can ruin a school, just look at what the school was in 2000 and what it is now. Pathetic.

Those whom want to learn will learn. I went to Hubbertville and ive turned out just fine. To the negative comment(Feb.22, 2009) Students should quit blaming 'their' academic and extracurricular shortcomings on the staff/faculty at Hubbertville. Since 2004, that school has produced some of the top college students in America. Some of us have gone on to Samuel Ginn College of Engineering (Auburn), Harrison School of Pharmacy (Auburn), MSU Meteorology School, Engineering School at the univ. of Alabama, law school, and various nursing schools everywhere. So, dont blame 'the system'. Hubbertvilles' system is working just fine! Mr. JJ Stafford (comment from August 2006) , the athletic program at Hub turns boys into men. It may seem old-fashioned to such contemporaries such as yourself JJ, but theres more to sports than winning and losing. Hub (our coaches) teaches you about heart and how to react when your butts nailed to the wall.

I went to high school at Hubbertville and the teachers did NOT teach me what I needed to know. I specifically remember having a whole semester of a subject in which the teacher only gave us a few open-book worksheets. Some of the staff and teachers play favorites, and if a student has not gone to school there since elementary school, they get the short end of the stick. There are some excellent teachers there who care about their students, however. Unfortunately, there only one or two of these teachers, and they cannot compensate for the lack of good teachers. I also agree with a previous comment on here about how the athletics are considered more important than anything else. If a student is involved in anything besides sports, they are definitly under-appreciated and non-athletic programs are treated very unfairly.

Well I am enrolled at Hub and Its not that bad of a place compared to what these people are saying. The discipline here is fine not that many people get into trouble as other schools. The teachers are also fine they teach us what we need to know and when I get ready to go to college when I gradute in 2009 I will be prepared.

Hubbertville School has been and still is an excellent place for students to get an education. The teachers are very dedicated to helping students succeed. I feel that it is a very safe place for my children to attend school and that they are being well prepared for the future.

This school has major bullying and disiplinary problems. I will never put my children through the horrors that I have recieved here. Athletics come before any academic programs.

I graduated from Hubbertville, and was SO unprepared for college. The high school teachers, for the most part, were not good teachers. If a student has ambitions or if you are a parent and want your child to be prepared for the college, look elsewhere.
