In August, all schools and institutions in the Shoals area started their Fall 2023 session, including elementary, high schools, and secondary education. The Shoals is fortunate to have exceptional educational systems and institutions. Below are a few happenings and articles from some of these systems.

We encourage you to attend an event this fall to celebrate hard work, whether it be in sports or the arts!

The purpose of the Shoals Manufacturers' Association (SMA) is to foster a working relationship among Shoals area manufacturers and to promote a healthy business climate, making it feasible for existing companies to expand and/or remain in the Shoals area in a working partnership with the Shoals Economic Development Authority. Shoals area companies involved in the manufacture of products and parts for profit are invited to join SMA.​

For more information, including the cost to join, visit our website. To join or for any questions, contact Rob Jones, Shoals EDA, at (256) 349-5632 or e-mail at rjones@shoalseda.com.
