Huntsville City Schools is the school district serving Huntsville, Alabama.[4] As of the 2016–17 school year, the system had 24,083 students and employed 1,697 teachers.[5] The district oversees 36 schools: 21 PreK-elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 2 magnet schools.[6]

The school system finished the 2010 fiscal year with a debt of nearly $20 million the largest of any school system in Alabama by a significant margin.[7] However, after Casey Wardynski was appointed superintendent, he worked to erase the school system's debt and bring the budget into surplus.[8]

It is partially within Madison County,[9] and partially in Limestone County.[10]
