A. G. Gaston K-8 School is a school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 5400 Oakwood Street in the Roosevelt City neighborhood of the Brownville community. The principal is Tavis Hardin-Sloan.
The school was built in the 1940s as part of the Jefferson County Schools system and was annexed into the City of Birmingham in the 1950s. It is named for African-American entrepreneur A. G. Gaston.
Under the most recent school consolidation plan proposed by acting superintendent Barbara Allen and approved by the Board of Education, A. G. Gaston School would close in the summer of 2011, with students transferring to Wylam Elementary School and a newly-built Jones Valley K-8 School. [1]
