COMMUNITY

WELC ME


Ozark is considered part of the “Wiregrass Region”—alongwith southeast Alabama, western Florida and southwestGeorgia—which is so named for the wiry-stem grassfound there.

It is fabled that Ozark received its name from a traveler who saw a resemblance to the hilly area of the Foothill Mountains ofArkansas.

In 1820, Allen Cooley and his son William came to settle in Ozarkfrom South Carolina. The community’s first courthouse was builtin Daleville in 1830 and, as the area grew, a road was built linkingDaleville and Louisville via the Cooley trail.

In 1822, John Merrick Sr., a Revolutionary War veteran for whomthe town of Merrick is named, built a cabin where the present FirstUnited Methodist Church is located. In 1826, Rev. DempseyDowling came to the area south of Ozark and began theconstruction of the first Claybank Church.

The name of the town changed over the years, originally fromMerricks to Woodshop. The Woodshop post office opened in1843. The community slowly grew, adding a municipal waterplant in 1840 and a school in 1841. After a petition for change,the name was officially changed to Ozark in 1855.

After the county courthouse in Newton burned in 1869, Ozarkwas voted the new seat and the town was incorporated in 1870.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ozark was mainly anagricultural trading center. However, in 1941, with the building ofCamp Rucker, an influx of industry and workers arrived.

Today, Ozark’s boundaries and economy have expanded, increasingthe population and encouraging new technology and agriculturalbusinesses, as well as small businesses and industries that promotethe growth of the Ozark area.

HISTORIC CONFEDERATE MONUMENTMany southern towns have a Confederate monument honoringthe soldiers of that town and county who served in theConfederate army. A monument dedicated “In memory of theDale County soldiers whofought in the War Between theStates of 1861-1865” standson the southeast corner of theDale County courthouse inOzark. Dedicated in memoryof the Confederate dead, it waserected by the StonewallJackson chapter of the UnitedDaughters of the ConfederacyNo. 667 A.D. 1910.

On one side of the shaftsupporting the column withthe statue of a Confederatesoldier on top, gazing north,the following inscription reads:

“These were men who by theirSingle manhood in their lives,By their strict adherenceTo the principles of right,By their sublime courageAnd unspeakable sacrifices,Even to the heroism of death;Have preserved for usThrough the gloom of defeat,A priceless heritage of honor.”

OZARK CITY SCHOOLS

Are you looking for a great city with a great school systemto educate your children? Then you need to explore thepossibilities in Ozark, Alabama. Most school systems willtell you about their state-of-the-art technology, award-

winning programs, high student achievements, great teaching staffand a myriad of other things that separate them from the rest.Almost all school systems make this claim and Ozark City Schoolscan compete with the best on this level. However, ask yourself thisquestion: What skills do my children need to learn to be successfulin the 21st century? Next, ask the same question of the teachers atthe schools you may want your children to attend. Most will quotethe state-mandated standards and follow with how well theirstudents do regarding those standards. This is very relevantinformation and it should be one of the first things you check. Butthat information is insufficient because state standards representminimum standards—not 21st century learning goals.

Ozark City Schools competes favorably with all local districtsregarding state tests and we continue to improve. However, werecently embraced a new vision that adds rigor and relevance to thestate standards and it also embraces the concept of building strongrelations among students, staff and the community. By increasingrigor and relevance and by improving relationships in our schoolsand in the community, we can provide a learning environment thatnot only meets the state minimum standards but also preparesstudents to enter the 21st century world equipped with skills thatensure success.

Twenty-first century learners not only need to use technology; theyneed to command it. The 21st century adult will need to work incollaborative, multicultural, multilingual, multinational problem-solving groups to resolve some of the Earth’s most significantissues. The 21st century adult will need to have strong negotiatingskills and know how to access multiple sources of complexinformation and use it productively in a world where informationwill be the key to unlocking personal, organizational and nationalpower sources.

If you want your child to receive an education that will trulyempower him or her to compete and succeed in a world that’sbecoming more and more attached through business andtechnology, then you want to move to Ozark. Our vision for whatour students can and must become truly separates us from otherdistricts. Come visit our schools, talk to our teachers andadministrators and you’ll discover a school system that truly hasmore to offer than the others. You’ll also discover one of theSouth’s best-kept secrets—Ozark, Alabama.
