Hudson K-8 School is a K-8 school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 3300 F. L. Shuttlesworth Drive in Collegeville.
Under a school consolidation plan proposed by acting superintendent Barbara Allen and approved by the Board, Hudson K-8 moved to a new building in the summer of 2009 with some students transferring in from Kirby Middle School. [1]
The $14.5 million building was completed on the site of the former school in 2009. That summer, just before the school opened its doors, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency conducted soil tests on the site. Results from the test, publicized a year later, showed high levels of arsenic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the soil, possibly from a nearby Walter Coke operation. The EPA oversaw a major project, funded by Walter Coke, to remove and replace contaminated topsoil on the school property and on 23 nearby residential lots.
