When there was still segregation, Montevallo had two high schools. They were called Montevallo High School and Montevallo Negro High School or Prentice High School. The principle at the Negro school was called Mr. Prentice. He had a great life. He was very sweet and was known as someone who always checked on things. Times began to get tough on Mr. Prentice because of segregation so he hanged himself in the girls’ locker room. He still haunts that room. You know he’s there if you hear a little chuckle! A young girl recently saw him in 2001 and she claimed that someone was walking out of a wall! Sometimes doors open by themselves where his office was! The students claim he’s just checking on things.
The crossroads where the paranormal and history meet.
