 * __The Community:__**

Munford High School is located in the foothills of Cheaha Mountain in the town of Munford. The town of Munford is located 10 miles south of Oxford and 10 miles north of Talladega. Within the last ten years the community has experienced the addition of Mike's Phillips 66, Metal Samples, Fred's Auto Parts, Munford Grocery Outlet, First National Bank of Talladega, Munford Branch and Munford Discount Drugs to the already existing businesses in the town. A new post office was also built and plans are now being made to "four lane" Highway 21 through Munford. These additional businesses and the new highway seem to have created new jobs in our community and have resulted in the building of and an apartment complex, Munford Villiage, for low-income families. Hopefully the new highway, with its easy access to Interstate 20, will create even more of an economic boost for our community. Just recently, before the 2009-2010 school year, traffic lights were erected at the intersection of Cedars Road and Highway 21.
