[edit] About Goshen High School

Goshen is located about 10 miles west of Troy, Alabama and 10 miles east of Luverne, Alabama. As an incorporated town with an elected mayor and council members, Goshen has a volunteer fire department, a number of active churches, and several civic organizations. The Circle S has the best southern cooking in the area, and it, along with the other organizations in this 300 plus person community, are all very supportive of our school. The earliest record of a public school in Goshen was in the middle 1800's. A small wooden structure made from hand-split logs was located between Goshen and The Troy-Luverne Highway (U.S. 29) on a parcel of land called "Goshen Hill". This is what is now known as Mt. Zion Community. This first public school in Goshen was a one room building with one teacher. The school tern was whenever the students were not busy on the farm. The school was moved to its present site in the town of Goshen in 1897 and employed its first principal, Miss Ada Ray, about 1920. Goshen High School has grown continually over the past number of years, and today meets the educational needs of over 400 students in grades six through twelve. We are proud of our school and its heritage, and we look forward to countless more successes for our school and our community. The current principal of Goshen High School is Eugene Nelson.
