Alabama School of Math and Science (ASMS), founded in 1989 by the state legislature, is the state’s only free, fully public, and residential high school for sophomores, juniors, and seniors seeking advanced studies in math, science, computer science, and the humanities. The school’s mission is to give students across Alabama access to a research-focused, college-level, life-changing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning environment where they can be challenged and inspired to maximize their potential and become the business and research leaders of tomorrow.

United Bank and UB Community Development believe strongly in the mission and promise of ASMS and recently announced a $12.5 million NMTC allocation toward the construction of the Wilson Science Research Center at the Alabama School of Mathematics and Science (ASMS) campus located in Mobile, Alabama.
