The Tarrant City School District is the school system of the Birmingham, Alabama, suburb of Tarrant. Tarrant City Schools serve 1,093 students and employ 146 faculty and staff.[1] The district includes one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school.

History

Tarrant's first school was built in 1920, and by 1930, its enrollment had grown to 1,443 students. The 1930 U.S. Census showed sufficient population, in compliance with the state code, for the city of Tarrant to operate its own schools independently from the Jefferson County School System. Therefore, in August 1930, Tarrant City Schools pulled away from Jefferson County and appointed a Board of Education. The new board voted to take over the existing elementary and junior high schools, leaving the high school, Jefferson County High School, under the supervision of the county. In 1948, Jefferson County High School also became part of the Tarrant City School System and its name was changed to Tarrant High School. Mr. W.A. Parker was appointed as the first superintendent of Tarrant City Schools.[2]

Schools

The district includes three schools:[3]

  • Tarrant Elementary School (K–3)
  • Tarrant Intermediate School (4–6)
  • Tarrant High School (7–12)
