Building the Future... One Student at a Time The City of Tallassee is known as the ‘Treasure on the Tallapoosa.’ Tallassee rests between eastern Elmore County and western Tallapoosa County. Tallassee City Schools is an outstanding public school system in the heart of Alabama. Nearly half of our high school students participate in show choir or marching band, making our music programs one of the best in the state. Athletically, Tallassee has enjoyed much success in numerous sports such as football, wrestling, baseball, track and field, cross country, soccer, softball, volleyball, and basketball. Our high school and middle school students use iPads in their classrooms as part of a one-to-one technology initiative where our students learn in a blended learning environment. We will soon be opening our Career Center where our students will be able to take dual enrollment classes here in our own community. It seems as though ‘Treasure on the Tallapoosa’ is a fitting reference for our school system too.
