Vestavia Central Elementary School

Vestavia Hills Elementary School - Central, or Vestavia Central Elementary School, was an elementary school located at 1289 Montgomery Highway near Byrd Park in Vestavia Hills.

Vestavia Hills City Schools acquired the former Vestavia Alliance Church in 1987 and opened the school that fall for grades 4 and 5 matriculating from its fast-growing Vestavia Hills Elementary East and Vestavia Hills Elementary West K-5 schools, which became K-3.

The school was closed in 2019

In 2023 the board sold the school building to Wellspring Holdings, a company owned by Aimee and Will Akin, who planned to operate it as the "Hub in the Hills", with space for multiple educational non-profits.

The board retained ownership of a 12.15-acre parcel adjoining the former school which has a soccer field and running track. The former Vestavia Hills City Schools Extended Care center at the front of the property is leased to Impact Family Counseling.
