J. B. Gibson Elementary School is an elementary school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 956 50th Street North overlooking Messer Airport Highway in Woodlawn. It was constructed in 1926 with an addition completed two years later. It was named for former Birmingham Board of Education member J. B. Gibson, who donated the site.
Under the most recent school consolidation plan proposed by acting superintendent Barbara Allen and approved by the Board, Gibson Elementary would close in the Summer of 2010 with students transferring to a new K-8 school at the site of the present Hayes High School. [1]
