The Altamont School is a college preparatory school located in Birmingham, AL. The goal of the institution is to produce well-educated individuals capable of independent thinking and innovative ideas. To that end, this website aims to be a forum for the students to explore and critique history in all its forms. In this modern era, society absorbs history not only through print media and traditional lectures but also new medians including cinema, television series, and video games. The quality of this deluge of history can range anywhere from poignant to appalling. The student body of The Altamont School will take on the task of sorting the good, the bad, and the downright shoddy.
