History
Before there was a Fultondale High School, students who lived in Fultondale and were in grades 1-9 attended Fultondale Elementary School. Students in grades 10-12 attended Gardendale High School. In 1965 a new school was built at the present Fultondale site and was named New Castle High School. In 1967 a vocational building was added. In the fall of 1972, students from Fultondale Elementary and the Smithfield area merged with the students at New Castle High School. The Jefferson County Board of Education then changed the school's name to Fultondale High School.
At the time of the merging of schools, Jack Hazelrig was the principal at Fultondale Elementary. He was appointed by the board to be the first principal of Fultondale High School. The school housed grades 7-12 in its first year but was changed to an 8-12 school the next year. Fultondale High saw its first graduating class with the class of 1973.
Started in the 2013-2014 school year, the 6th graders from Fultondale Elementary began attending Fultondale High due to overcrowding at the elementary school.
