A Proud Moment for Southern Choctaw Elementary Together, We Rise: Southern Choctaw Earns a B Hard Work Paying Off at Southern Choctaw
In a remarkable demonstration of growth and dedication, Southern Choctaw Elementary School increased student scores by 15 points, earning recognition from the Alabama State Department of Education and advancing from a D to a B on the annual state report card.
Exciting news about one of our students at Southern Choctaw Elem. school
DJ Manuel recently had the opportunity to serve as a page for the Alabama State Senate from February 17–19, 2026. DJ has always had an interest in politics, and his mother, Mrs. Shaquondra Manuel, learned about the Senate Page Program through a local politician. She assisted him with completing the application process, and he was subsequently selected to participate.
During his time in Montgomery, DJ experienced firsthand how our state government operates. He also had the honor of meeting Governor Kay Ivey and Senators Bobby Singleton, Rodger Smitherman, Merika Coleman, and Robert Stewart. This was truly an unforgettable and educational experience for him.
We are incredibly proud of DJ for representing Southern Choctaw so well and for taking advantage of such a meaningful opportunity.
Congratulations to Choctaw County High School JAG students who placed at District Competition

Commendation for Excellence-A Salute to Our Transportation Heroes
Mr. Ronny McRae, Mr. Joe Anderson, and Mr. Bobby Portis have done an outstanding job of keeping our buses running. The Alabama State Department of Education is required to check our buses for safety purposes each year. Give our transportation department a shout-out for 0 deficiencies during the inspection. The transportation department is often the unsung hero of education. Without the bus wheels turning, we cannot educate our youth. Along with recognizing Mr. McRae, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Portis, we want to recognize our drivers and administrative staff. Thank you for all you do for our system. You are appreciated.
