Huffman High School-Magnet (opened in 1966) is a high school in the Birmingham City Schools system. It is located at 950 Springville Road in the Huffman community. The principal is Ethel Knight.
Huffman High School opened during the 1966-67 school year. Students assigned to Huffman attended classes at Woodlawn High School before the new building was completed.
The school building is distinguished for two large shallow domes covering the cafeteria and media center.
In 1974 Huffman biology teacher Eugenia Corina was named "Alabama Teacher of the Year"
In recent years Huffman students have constructed an outdoor classroom and observation pier overlooking a natural wetland on the school's campus.
In 2009 plans were developed for a new $54 million school building to be constructed on the site of the former East Town Shopping Center adjacent to the present campus. The 250,000 square-foot building will feature band and choral rooms, classrooms and labs for career technology classes, expanded space for the Junior ROTC progam, a cafeteria, competition gym, football stadium, field house and baseball and softball fields.
