Brunetta C. Hill Elementary School is an elementary school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 507 3rd Street North in the Smithfield community. It was built in the 1952 as a replacement for the former Graymont Colored School, and a year later named for its first principal, Brunetta C. Hill.
In 1957 the school added eight classrooms, a gymnasium and auditorium. A two-story frame house on Graymont Avenue which had been used for overflow class space was demolished in order to provide playground space.
Taylor Greene, Jr is the current principal.
Under the most recent school consolidation plan proposed by acting superintendent Barbara Allen and approved by the Board, North Birmingham Elementary would close in the Summer of 2011 with students transferring to Tuggle Elementary School. [1]
