Center Street Middle School is a middle school in the Birmingham City Schools system located at 1832 Center Way South in Titusville. The principal is [[Carolyn Denson].
The school building was constructed in 1955 with major additions in the 2000s.
In 1989 Southern Progress chose Center Street Middle School for a continuing series of special projects including field trips, reading activities, and the "Center Street Photography Project" in which selected students are given cameras to document the world around them. The best photographs are exhibited to the public at the end of each year.
In 2013, under the terms of the Alabama Accountability Act, Center Street Middle School was deemed a "failing school", permitting parents to claim tax credits to transfer students to another school. The school was taken off the list in 2014.
