An Insider’s Look at the Athens-Limestone Community Association
OCTOBER 17, 2017
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
