Our school is named in honor of Dr. Harold Collins in recognition of his many years of service as Superintendent of the Mobile County Public School System and Mrs. Edna Bonner Rhodes in recognition of her many years of service as a teacher and Supervisory of Elementary Curriculum.

Collins Rhodes Elementary School was built in 2007 in the Eight Mile Community. We take pride in the fact that it is indeed a school in which the community accepts the challenges and responsibilities of educating children.

The mission of Collins-Rhodes Elementary School is to create and sustain an environment that promotes academic excellence, encourages social development, fosters emotional well-being and instills a passion for life-long learning.

"Preparing Our Children Today for the Challenges of Tomorrow."
