ABOUT THE SHOALS
Education
There are two county and four city school systems within The Shoals, offering
complete academic and vocational education from preschool to twelfth grade.
A host of secular and non-parochial private schools offer alternatives for
parents who want a particular emphasis for their children.
After graduation from high school, students may remain in the area to further their education.
The University of North Alabama (UNA), founded in 1830 as the first public institution of higher education in the State,
is located in Florence. UNA offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in 25 major areas and plays an important role in
the life of the region. In the Spring 2008, there were 7,027 students enrolled at the University of North Alabama.
In addition to UNA, Northwest-Shoals Community College (NWSCC) is an accredited two-year institution that offers
technical/occupational programs on a full- and part-time
basis. NWSCC offers area companies a variety of technical
and administrative assistance. In the Spring 2008, there were
4,605 students enrolled at NWSCC.
