It is the school's goal that each student receive a high quality education and achieve individual goals in a safe and orderly environment.

Happenings in Helena - 101

Earl's Moving recommends the close community of Helena in Shelby County, Alabama as a great place to move.

Located in Shelby County, Helena is where the coal and iron industry began back in 1877. Helena continues to steadily grow and expand and is nationally recognized by several organizations as one of the best and safest places to live, work and play in Alabama! "In the last twenty years Helena has experienced rapid and steady growth and is now recognized as a prime location for new opportunity and continued development. While we work hard to preserve its rich history and heritage, we also work hard to ensure that opportunities for new residential, commercial and educational growth are extended and enhanced." ~ Mayor Mark Hall

Overall Helena is brimming with young families, but a number of young at heart senior citizens enjoy calling this active city with 'small town feel' home as well. Helena boasts activities as busy or as relaxing as you can wish for. Helena Sports Complex is the hot spot for all things "ball"; baseball, softball, soccer, football, basketball as well as cheerleading. The space also has meeting rooms, cafeteria and a kitchen available for rent. Special events are held at this spacious, comfortable location.

The first class schools located in Helena are second to none. Helena Elementary School is the home of the former Helena Junior High School which was opened in 1925.

Alabaster Advantages

Earl's Moving is proud to call Alabaster, AL Home!

Alabaster is located just 17 miles south of Birmingham. It is convenient to downtown, but far enough from the city to be laid back, the way we like it! For convenience, the interstate is just minutes from almost anywhere in the City of Alabaster. Also convenient for most of the shopping, banking, and medical care you will need. Alabaster has experienced growth for the last 10 years, full of life with a close, small town feel. 

Alabaster's YMCA will again host fifth-quarter parties after Alabaster football games this season

New retail opens regularly allowing for a large variety of shopping. Be it name brand clothing, play clothes for the kids, even maternity clothes for the soon to be mommy, or shoes for the entire family, Alabaster most likely has what you need!

Perhaps with fall approaching quickly, you need sporting equipment. Never fear, there is a local sporting goods store right down the road, reading material for those book reports, furniture for your new home, and even a jewelry store for yourself or gifts.

Need to update your home? Never fear! There are furniture, home improvement and electronics and appliance stores just around the corner! Even get your football attire locally! Unlimited specialty foods, baked goods and cakes, and of course, everyone's favorite coffee! 

There are no shortage of restaurants in the city! Choose from favorites like Italian and Mexican cuisine. What is your family's choice tonight? Steak? Sandwich? Or a restaurant everyone can choose their favorite?

Alabaster certainly has no shortage of medical care. Known as Main Street Medical Mile, the long corridor down Highway 31 features hundreds of physicians, clinics and medical providers in as many specialties as you can imagine such as maternity care, heart care, pediatrics, oncology, dentistry and orthodontics.

Alabaster City Schools separated from Shelby County in 2013 and continue to exceed expectations. The mission of the schools is to partner with families and the community to inspire and prepare graduates to be responsible and productive champions of their future. The city currently has two elementary schools, an intermediate, a sixth grade center, a middle school and a high school. 

Earl Pike was raised in Alabaster, and chooses to raise his family in this city with small town feel and big town conveniences. Let Earl's Moving move you home!

Tips to Finding a Great Moving Company

Earl's Moving Company offers suggestions and questions to ask before choosing a moving company.

So you received that promotion or landed that new job and it means moving out of state. Perhaps you are moving to a larger home in Helena (one of the top 100 places to live in the United States!) that will accommodate your growing family. Let's say all the kids are grown and have their own homes so you want to downsize to a smaller house with much smaller yard and Alabaster is the town you have chosen. Whatever your reason for moving, you will want a reliable, safe moving company who has your best interest, and pocket book, in mind.

When shopping for a moving company, there are a few questions to have in mind to help you choose the best one. Many people in Shelby County choose Earl's Moving Company. Earl Pike grew up in the area and knows it like the back of his hand. Graduating from Thompson High School, then University of Montevallo, there are no worries Earl and his local team know the neighborhoods and area. 

Ask friends and family members who have moved about their experience with the moving company they chose. If you are from Shelby County, you are probably familiar with Christian owned Earl's Moving Company. With families of their own, and Shelby County being home, this caring, experienced team will not disappoint. 

Think about questions such as; Do you need the moving company to pack your belongings? Do they move in the areas you are moving from and to? Do you have a large piano, pool table or painting that needs special attention? You will be happy to know that Earl's Moving Company has the truck and moving materials that are needed for just about anything imaginable! Give them a call and give them your biggest, most challenging piece of furniture or collectible. Ask if they have ever moved a piece such as yours before and how it will be packed. 

Family man Earl Pike and his mindful team are more than happy to answer your questions, ease your worries and make your moving day as stress free as possible. Moving day should be an exciting time, not full of headaches, anticipating arrival at your new home. With Earl's direction you will be prepared and they will handle the rest!
