Anniston High School

What Anniston High School does

Anniston City Schools (operating Anniston High School as one of five campuses) is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 4804 McClellan Blvd in Anniston, Alabama, founded in 1909 and governed by the Anniston City Board of Education. The district serves approximately 1,900 students across pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade and employs more than 200 certificated teachers and support personnel, with day-to-day leadership provided by Superintendent Dr. Joseph A. Winston (appointed July 2025).

The district's service portfolio centers on standard K-12 academics augmented by differentiated programs: dual enrollment classes with Jacksonville State University and Gadsden State Community College, AP coursework, a culinary arts program, an onsite student-operated bank, and a STEM program that incorporates 3D printing technology. Operational infrastructure is built on third-party education platforms: PowerSchool for student information management, teacher grade books (PowerTeacher Pro), and online registration; Harris School Solutions Employee Self Service for staff administration; and SchoolBlocks for district website and communications. Substitute staffing is outsourced to Edustaff under a channel relationship.

As a government state entity, Anniston City Schools does not operate on a commercial revenue model; it is funded through state and local education allocations, federal grants, and local taxes, with education delivered at no direct cost to enrolled families. The GTM motion is direct-to-family via district-wide enrollment, community engagement, and stakeholder outreach. Customers in a functional sense are the resident students and their families, with supporting partnerships oriented around higher-education pipeline development, community mentoring, and substitute staffing.
