Bush Hills Academy (formerly Charles B. Glenn Vocational High School and Charles B. Glenn Middle School is a K-8 school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 901 16th Street West in the Bush Hills neighborhood of Ensley.
The original school was constructed as a vocational school for African-American students in 1952. It was named for Charles Glenn, superintendent of Birmingham schools from 1921 to 1942. It served as a middle school before being rebuilt as a K-8 in 2010, taking in students from Wilson Elementary School. The new building was designed by Goodwyn, Mills & Cawood architects.
Construction of the new $16 million school building was delayed when McCrory Building Company defaulted on its contract. The Blalock Building Company was selected to complete the work.
