"Resource Learning Center - Shades Valley Annex" was the official title of a high school located near downtown Homewood, AL in the mid 1980s.  It seems to have existed from the late 70s through the early 1990s (that's my guess).  After that, it moved and became the now [[Jefferson County International Baccalaureate School]].
The program was replaced by the [[Jefferson County International Baccalaureate]] at [[Shades Valley High School]] on [[Old Leeds Road]]. The former RLC building was purchased in [[1995]] by the [[Birmingham Islamic Society]].


During this time, when it was also known as "Shades Valley RLC," it was highly regarded by its students and its teachers.
