The Boaz seminary saw rapid growth, and by 1906 changed its name to John H. Snead Seminary in honor of a local businessman who had donated money and land to the school. In 1935 the school became chartered and began operating it as a junior college, followed by 32 years of private operation. In 1967 the school joined the Alabama two year college system and changed its its name to Snead State Junior College until 1992 when the name was changed to the current.

  • Snead is a great school and is a good pick for those who don't want to jump right into a four year college. It's small enough to get to know a lot of people and is a great place to get involved in all types of activities. Would definitely recommend it.
