Best Answer

Mattie Thomas was born in Marion, Alabama on July 7, 1896. Her parents were Reverend and Mrs. Samuel Thomas. During the course of her life, Mrs. Blount made her mark on education in the Prichard community. Her personal goal was to seek higher education and to encourage and guide boys and girls to advance in education. Mattie T. Blount High School was established in 1953 as a junior high school known as the Engine Street School. In 1956, the Prichard community, represented by the Engine Street PTA, requested that the Mobile County Board of High School Commissioners change the school's name to Mattie T. Blount High School in honor of this dedicated and accomplished educator. In August 1956, the request was granted and students entered the newly titled Mattie T. Blount High School.
