Booker T. Washington K-8 School (formerly Booker T. Washington Negro Elementary School) is a K-8 school in the Birmingham City Schools system. Built in 1908 by the Town of Elyton, it joined the Birmingham system after the Greater Birmingham annexation of 1910. The school is located at 115 4th Avenue South in the Titusville neighborhood. 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. The principal is Linda Kimbrough.
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.
