Longtime educator, coach, and community leader Mark Britton has officially announced his candidacy for Place 5 on the Cullman City School Board.
A devoted public servant with more than three decades of experience in education, Britton retired from coaching in 2017 and from the classroom in 2022. Today, he is stepping forward once again—this time to serve the community in a new capacity and help shape the future of Cullman City Schools.

Britton’s dedication to education runs deep—not only through his professional service, but also through his family. His wife, Patti, and daughter, Meaghan, are both current teachers in the Cullman City School District. Now, as a proud grandfather, Britton is committed to helping build a school system that will serve his grandchildren and future generations of Cullman students.
“I’m running because I believe in public service, and I believe in Cullman. I want to be a voice for our teachers, our families, and most importantly, our students. Our schools are the heart of this community, and I want to help ensure they remain strong, innovative, and student-focused.”
Known for his leadership, integrity, and community-centered mindset, Britton hopes to bring his experience and passion to the Cullman City School Board—focusing on transparency, collaboration, and excellence in education.
