Bob Jones High School
Bob Jones High School is a public high school in Madison, Alabama, United States. It is part of Madison City Schools and is named after Robert E. Jones, Jr., a former United States House of Representatives from Alabama. It is not affiliated with Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina
In 2007, Bob Jones High School was ranked by Newsweek in the top 5% of American High Schools. The school was ranked 1044 among the top 1200 high schools in the nation based on the number of Advanced Placement exams, Cambridge tests, and/or International Baccalaureate tests taken by the students at the school then divided by the number of graduating seniors. These students are nationally known for their scholastic aptitude, with eleven students having been selected as Presidential Scholars Program candidates in the last three years alone.
The school was named for former Alabama congressman Robert E. "Bob" Jones. (Originally the school was to be named for James Record, the former Alabama State Senator and Madison County Commission Chairman who suggested Jones for the honor instead.) The current principal is Sylvia Lambert, and the school is in Region 4 of Class 7A in the AHSAA.
Bob Jones High School opened in 1974 at 1304 Hughes Road as a part of the Madison County School system. It remained a part of this system until 1998, when the Madison City Schools system was created.
In 1996, it moved to a new campus at 650 Hughes Road, with the original building repurposed for Discovery Middle School. Due to population growth, expansions were later added. At the time, the building did not occupy enough space, thus leaving the 9th-grade class at the middle school. When a second high school, James Clemens High School, was opened in 2012, the 9th grade was then moved back to the high school.
The Class of 2010 broke the school record for the dollar amount of scholarships awarded.[citation needed] More than $32 million in scholarships was offered to about 350 students.
The Bob Jones Marching Patriot Band earned 3rd place out of 18 schools in the Outback Bowl Marching Open Class Competition. They also won 1st place in their class and the Grand Champion title in the Parade Competition at the Outback Bowl Band Festival in Tampa, Florida. In October 2011, they became the Field Show USA Champions in Washington, D.C. In 2013, they returned to the Outback Bowl Band Festival with their show "007: The 50th Anniversary," winning Best in Class and again being named Grand Champions.
In 2024, the competition band participated in the Bands of America Grand National Championships for the first time in school history. In preliminary competition, they placed 60th overall with a score of 76.150. They did not qualify for semifinals.
