Education plays an important role for all looking to establish a successful future. We're fortunate to have a strong educational system both at the primary and secondary levels. Here are some links to schools throughout the River Heritage Region.

Tuskegee University

One of the nation's most historically and socially significant educational institutions, Tuskegee University was established by state legislature in 1880 as a school for the black population. In the years since, Tuskegee has earned a reputation not only as an outstanding academic university but also as a highly influential force on the race as a whole. While primarily focusing on development of the African American community, the university is open to all and supports a student body that is racially, ethnically and religiously diverse. Located in the city of Tuskegee, the university offers 49 degrees from 5 colleges.
