An Insider’s Look at the Athens-Limestone Community Association

HistoryALCA was founded in 1981 and reorganized in 2007

Our primary mission was to preserve the former Trinity High School, Limestone County’s only all-black high school before integration, and Fort Henderson, the Union fort used during the American Civil War

Our board is composed of 11 members who are active in our community

Trinity’s HistoryTrinity High School was opened from 1865-1970

It was a private school for many years and then transitioned to a public school that was under the direction of Limestone County Schools

After the school closed, it was used for a few years and then fell into a dilapidated state

ALCA then decided to repair the building to be used for a community center
