[edit] History

In 1976, the Lawrence County School System consolidated Midway School (K-9) and Chalybeate School (K-9) to form East Lawrence Elementary School (K-6), and in 1978 East Lawrence High School (7-12) was established. The two schools were built in Caddo, a small community between Midway and Chalybeate. East Lawrence Middle School (4-8) was later established in 1999. Since the creation of the East Lawrence School District in 1976, Caddo and the East Lawrence community has experienced steady growth. Due to the new growth and their close proximity, Caddo and Midway grew into one community. Today, most residents in Caddo and the East Lawrence community work and shop in nearby Decatur.


[edit] Incorporation

Movements to incorporate Caddo have been ongoing since the 1980's, however nothing serious has ever been organized. Those in favor of incorporation argue that Caddo and the East Lawrence community would benefit from city taxes, TVA money, and city services. Many residents in Caddo also fear eventual annexation by the City of Decatur. Those against incorporation argue that residents do not want to be subjected to city ordinances or pay city taxes. Some residents also fear that incorporation would change their rural way of life.


[edit] Public Officials

Caddo is represented by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Mobile), Senator Richard Shelby (R-Tuscaloosa) and Representative Bud Cramer (D-Huntsville) at the federal level. At the state and local level, Caddo is represented by state Senator Zeb Little (D-Cullman), state Representative Jody Letson (D-Hillsboro), county Commissioner Alma Witlow (D-Speake), and county School Board Member Windell Logan (D-Speake)


[edit] Education

Caddo is home to the East Lawrence School District, a member of the Lawrence County School System. East Lawrence Elementary School (K-3), East Lawrence Middle School (4-8), and East Lawrence High School (9-12) make up the East Lawrence School District. East Lawrence High School is a class 4A school. It has not changed classes since the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) expanded from 4 classifications to 6 in 1984.
