Alba is one hundred and five years old. The school was founded by Peter F. Alba. We are a community school located at 14180 S. Wintzell Avenue in Bayou La Batre, the Seafood capital of Alabama. We are only twenty minutes from the beautiful beaches of Dauphin Island! Many of our faculty and staff graduated from Alba and have returned home to serve the community. We are the best Middle School in Mobile county. Our student population is approximately 540 students. Alba makes every effort to increase the amount and quality of learning time and provide enriched curriculum and opportunities to meet the needs of all students. We offer many sports and extracurricular activities to enhance student involvement. We support our teachers and recognize them for all of their hard work.

Alba School opened for classes in 1918. It was the first consolidated school (then grades 1-11) in Mobile County. Alba was an elementary, middle, and high school until 1998. Today Alba serves as a middle school for students in grades 6 - 8.

Our oldest building, which is over 100 years old, was recently renovated. All of our classrooms have also been upgraded with state of the art technology.
