The Monroe County Board of Education is fully committed to engaging its students in quality educational opportunities, encouraging academic excellence, in a safe and orderly environment, resulting in successful life-long learners, workers, and citizens.
The mission of J.U. Blacksher High School is to facilitate the successful transition of our students from their education at JUB to receive a post-secondary education and/or work in a technical career that will contribute positively to the community and themselves. 

About Us

J.U. Blacksher School, named after James Uriah Blacksher, was established in 1924 in Uriah, Ala. Since our humble beginnings in a small, farming community, we have grown to serve south Monroe County Alabama with more than 700 students in K4-12th grade.
We have a 19:1 teacher-to-student ratio, with a total minority enrollment of almost 33 percent. Services provided to our students include special education, gifted and talent programs, career and technical training, college dual enrollment, athletics, and several clubs and organizations.
