Pelham High School is a public high school located in Pelham, Alabama. Though formerly part of the Shelby County School System, it has been part of the Pelham City Schools System since 2014. Pelham High School was built in 1973 and opened in 1974. The school's mascot is "Paws" the Panther, and its colors are Forest Green and Vegas Gold.

History

The school was built in 1973 and opened in 1974 with the first graduating class in 1978. Since then, the school has experienced tremendous growth requiring several major additions and renovations to the campus. During the 1994 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak an F2 tornado struck on Highway 261 causing damage to the school, as well as some business buildings in Pelham.

As of June 1, 2014, the city of Pelham separated itself from the Shelby County School System and became part of its own school district known as Pelham City Schools. The 2014-2015 school year was not only the first year where Pelham operated independently, but also the first year that residents of Helena, Alabama, would not be attending Pelham High School due to the official opening of Helena High School in August 2014.

Administration

Former Pelham principal Bob Lavett served over two decades at the high school. He retired as principal in late May 2014 to begin working part-time as an assistant to Superintendent Scott Coefield.[6] In June 2014, after Lavett’s retirement, the Pelham Board of Education hired Jason Yohn as the new principal of Pelham High School. Yohn was formerly the principal at Smiths Station High School in Smiths Station, Alabama, where he worked for six years. The Pelham Board of Education also hired John Prestridge as assistant principal.[7]

Athletics

Baseball - The Pelham High School Varsity Baseball team won the 2004 and 2013 AHSAA State Championships.

Music programs

Band

Pelham High School has had a band program since the school opened in 1974. The band has received excellent ratings at marching and auxiliary competitions, as well as concert band festivals. The band program currently has several groups: the "Tower of Power" marching band, which includes visual ensemble members in the color guard, dance team, and majorettes; a jazz band; and two concert groups, the wind ensemble and the symphonic band.[8] Jim Duren was band director from 1987 to 1999 before moving on to become the director at Oak Mountain High School.[9] When Duren left, Jeff Burnside took over as Pelham's band director in 1999 and stayed until the Pelham/Helena split in 2014, when he took a job as Helena High School's band director.[10] The current Pelham band director is Justin Ward, who previously served as the assistant director to Jeff Burnside from 2011 to 2014.[11]
