This article is about the historical school. For the present institution, see Bluff Park Elementary School.

Bluff Park School, later Bluff Park Community School, Hoover Community Education', and Artists on the Bluff building,

Linda Williams was hired by the Jefferson County Board of Education in 1973 to superintend the Hoover Community Education program from Bluff Park School. She remained in that role as Hoover City Schools split away from the county system.

In 1996 a new Bluff Park Elementary School was constructed nearby and the former building remained in use for community programs. Hoover Community Education ended its operations in 2010.

In 2011 Artists on the Bluff formed, with Williams as its director, and was allowed to use the building for studio space, classes and other programs. The Hoover Historical Society began keeping their archives in the former school library.
