School identity and published contact
The Lauderdale County School District website lists Allen Thornton Career Technical Center and links to its school-specific website. That site retains the Allen Thornton name in its title and lists telephone 256-757-2101. The contact association rests on the district’s exact named link and school-specific page, not the telephone alone.
Current page branding and unresolved address relationship
The school site’s heading and footer use Innovation Center and publish 200 Career Drive, Florence, AL 35634. The dated NCES directory and EDGE location record instead list 7275 Highway 72, Killen, AL 35645. These are different source presentations; no formal rename, successor relationship or relocation is asserted. The saved address retains the dated Killen reference; the current school website instead publishes the Florence address. The saved location must not be treated as confirmation of the current campus. Contact the operator to confirm the appropriate location and visitor arrangements. The historical Killen point is not used to map the Florence address.
Programs and enrollment questions
The official site presents career and technical programs. Program listings do not establish eligibility, feeder schools or attendance boundaries. The page does not establish administrative independence or a particular campus arrangement. Current course availability and admissions should be confirmed directly with the operator.
Dated public-school directory information
The NCES 2025–2026 preliminary directory (release 0a, May 6, 2026) reports Allen Thornton Career Technical Center as open in Lauderdale County school district, serving grades 10–12. Its dated physical address is 7275 Highway 72, Killen, AL 35645. NCES school ID: 010201000762; Alabama school ID: AL-039-6000. NCES district ID: 0102010; Alabama district ID: AL-039. These dated observations do not guarantee present operation or current or future grade offerings.
Enrollment data limits
No school-total membership observation is available for this exact school ID in the retained 2024–2025 membership data. No zero enrollment or current enrollment figure is inferred, and no enrollment is borrowed from another school or program.
Location-source limits
The NCES EDGE 2024–2025 source supplies an estimated school-building point associated with the dated exact-ID address. Because the official page presents a different address and branding, no historical point is adopted as a current map location. The Lauderdale County classification follows the dated exact-ID county code and retained county polygon, not a current campus survey. Postal locality and county classification do not establish municipal boundaries or attendance eligibility. No school-quality rating or housing recommendation is supplied.
