Welcome to Elba High School—where excellence begins!

My name is Daniel Jermaine Shakespeare, and I am honored to serve as the principal of this remarkable school. With over 18 years of experience in education, I am committed to fostering a culture where every student is challenged, supported, and inspired to excel. At Elba High, we believe that strong relationships, high expectations, and a shared vision are the foundation for student success.

Our vision is clear: to be the premier model of educational excellence in the state of Alabama. We are building learning communities where every student feels seen, valued, and empowered to reach their highest potential—academically, socially, and personally.

Whether it’s in the classroom, on the field, or in the community, we strive to embody excellence in all we do. Our commitment to cultivating excellence drives us forward and sets the tone for a future filled with opportunity and achievement.

Together, we are preparing tomorrow’s leaders today—and it all starts here.

Elba High School–The Standard is Excellence

With Tiger Pride,
