[edit] History

The Morona School was the first school located in Ider, AL. This school was a log cabin constructed in 1890. In the school's first year it had and enrollment of 22 students. In 1907 construction of a new two-story structure began. At that time the school was renamed Ider School.

Due to increasing demand from the community a new school building was constructed in 1932. This school was sometimes referred to as the Rock School because the building was constructed out of stone. By 1939 Ider School was accredited and offered its students twelve grades of education. In 1950 a separate building was constructed to house the elementary students.
