Thecity of Enterprise approved the rebuilding of Enterprise High School at a new location on the northwestern side of town off of Boll Weevil Circle, the city's main bypass. The school was constructed with more than $45 million in disaster relief funding from FEMA, insurance settlements, and state approved grant money. The town also approved a sales tax increase to collect funds for school construction. Overall, The result was construction of an $86 million replacement school. The new Enterprise High, at 525,000 square feet, is one of the largest schools in the Southeast.[5]
On August 23, 2010, the doors of the new Enterprise High School opened to students. It was the first time in more than three years that High School students in Enterprise had been able to attend school in a High School building. Since March 2007, they had been sharing the campus of Enterprise State Community College with the local college students.[6] The start of school year for all schools in the City of Enterprise had been delayed for two weeks to ensure that the High School building (the only public High School in town) would be ready for the first day of school.
The streets surrounding the campus were named just prior to the first day of school. Woodham Drive was named after John W. Woodham, an architect who worked with the school system for 25 years. Ralls drive was named after John G. Ralls, who sold more than 137 acres (0.55 km2) of land to the school system for the construction of the new school, and then donated a portion of the sale price back to the school. A third road was named after Webe Curenton, who sold his property to the school so that a driveway could be built connecting the school with Main Street. Wild Cat Way, the road surrounding the perimeter of the school, was named after the school's "Wildcat" mascot.[7]
After the tornado, the school was relocated to Enterprise-Ozark Community College (later renamed Enterprise State Community College), where it remained until the new school building was completed in August 2010.
In response to the tornado, Rachael Ray helped with the catering costs associated with the school's annual senior prom event (which was subsequently featured on the April 30, 2007, episode of her television show). After a night of dancing to the music of a DJ, Rachael Ray surprised students by arranging an unexpected musical performance by Mandy Moore.
On May 3, 2007, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Skyline Drive, Course of Nature, May-Day, The Springs (band), and Brandon Kelly set up Band-Aid Benefit Concert sponsored by 106.7 WKMX in Fort Rucker, Alabama to help raise money for the high school. Along with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Course of Nature, Melissa Joan Hart supported husband, Mark Wilkerson of CON and the high school.
Enterprise High School was affected historically by desegregation efforts within Alabama. Six families in Enterprise integrated the public schools in the 1966 school year. Children were given "Freedom of Choice forms" to bring home for their parents to complete the year before. These six families chose the white schools. The first year was peaceful without incident. A few years later the all black elementary school was closed and the all black high school was changed to 7th grade only. By the Fall of 1970, the school's total enrollment of 1,131 numbered 182 African-American and 949 other students. At the same time, the school had eight African-American teachers and 45 other teachers on its 53-member faculty.[10]
SLCSD has been the Red Storm since 2001. Before that, school teams played as the Redskins, a name that was retired by the school board over two decades ago. The insulting slang term for Native Americans was deemed too offensive at the time.
The district was not the first to make the hotly debated change, but it was ahead of the curve in terms of replacing racially insensitive sports team names. In July of this year, the New York state Education Department will officially ban all Native American mascots for schools in New York.
In the past few weeks, members of the public have attended public meetings to express concern about the former fox finalist, and to advocate for including a storm-based option. The school board agreed with these requests, removed fox and added storm.
The board said they were willing to add storm if people submitted concept artwork for it themselves. Examples in the poll show anthropomorphic cyclones. Garwood felt in the two decades since the name change, it has been hard to find a way to represent a Red Storm, but he said not everyone feels the same.
He said the mascot will definitely be used on shirts, hats and banners, and depending on the final design, potentially on jerseys and a physical mascot costume. That remains to be seen, though, he said.
In 2001, SLCSD changed its team name in a 6-1 vote with a lot of input from the community, as well as local Indigenous people. The district then selected a new name in a student poll, with the Red Storm earning 39% of the vote.

Who is the best high school mascot in Colorado? The 9Preps Mascot Challenge is putting dozens of schools to the test in an online voting bracket. The Holyoke Dragons are going up against the likes of the Brush Beetdiggers, the Rocky Ford Meloneers and the Rocky Mountain School Oysters.
Since the challenge coincides with the Colorado high school football championships, the mascots were split up into their respective football classifications: 6-man, 8-man, 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A. Mascots of multiple schools were excluded. After a champion is crowned for each class, an overall state winner will be declared.
The Dragons started off the 1A bracket with a bye, followed by a head-to-head competition with the Buena Vista Demons.
