Mobile, Alabama — High School Principal Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge
Dr. Terrell Brown, the principal of Center Point High School, was taken into custody in Mobile, Alabama, on domestic violence charges. The arrest occurred on July 23, following an incident reported to authorities earlier in the summer.
Details of the Incident
The domestic violence incident is believed to have taken place at the Riverview Plaza Hotel in downtown Mobile on June 9. An alleged victim filed a report regarding the event on July 17.

Official Statements and Administrative Actions
The Jefferson County Schools Superintendent, Dr. Walter Gonsoulin, confirmed Dr. Brown’s arrest and indicated that he has been placed on administrative leave with pay. This measure is in accordance with standard procedures when personnel face legal issues. It was also clarified that the incident did not involve any students, faculty, or staff, and took place outside the school campus.
Superintendent Gonsoulin emphasized that administrative leave does not equate to an admission of guilt. Rather, it is a precautionary step taken during ongoing investigations or legal processes. The school district has not released further details about the case to maintain privacy and adhere to legal procedures.
Impact on School Operations
During Dr. Brown’s leave, the leadership of Center Point High School will be supported by three assistant principals.

The school district has assured the community that the school’s daily operations will continue as usual despite the leadership change.
