Booker T. Washington K-8 School (formerly Booker T. Washington Negro Elementary School) is a K-8 school in the Birmingham City Schools system.
The school was first built in 1909 by the Town of Elyton, and was located at 115 Avenue D at Alfred Street in what is now Titusville.
The school joined the Birmingham system after the Greater Birmingham annexation of 1910. It was named for nationally-noted educator Booker T. Washington. Additions to the original building were completed in 1929.
The old school building was demolished in 2007 to make way for a new facility, completed in 2009. The new building includes 35 classrooms, a science lab, and three computer labs, along with a library, 192-seat cafeteria, and 300-seat gymnasium.
In 2011 students from Indian Springs School helped Washington K-8 students construct and plant a "Fertile Minds Learning Garden" on the school's campus.
