On Friday, February 23, 2024, two new historical markers were dedicated in honor of Butler High School and Stone Middle School. The dedication ceremonies were the culmination of several years of work of the Butler/Stone alumni and faculty, in partnership with the Huntsville-Madison County Historical Society.
The first marker, placed in the “front yard” of Campus 805 dually honors the original Butler High building on the front and Stone Middle on the back of the double-sided marker. Mayor Tommy Battle was in attendance and spoke to the impact of the community built in and around the school, in addition to several alumni speakers.
The second marker, placed at 3401 Holmes Ave., honors the rebuilt Bulter High School. Noted for it’s “pod style” buildings, the site is now the home of the Rock Family Worship Center. For passersby, you can park in the Center’s parking lot and take the sidewalk up the hill towards Holmes Ave to see the marker. Speakers included Butler High alumni and staff.
