Wylam Elementary School is an elementary school in the Birmingham Public School System located at 701 Erie Street at the intersection of 7th Avenue in Wylam. The principal is Judith Ross.
The first Wylam School was constructed by the then-independent Town of Wylam in 1900. It was absorbed into the Birmingham system as part of the Greater Birmingham annexations of 1910. The present school building was constructed in 1922 to designs by architect David O. Whilldin.
Under the most recent school consolidation plan proposed by acting superintendent Barbara Allen and approved by the Board, Wylam Elementary would accept students from A.G. Gaston K-8 School after the 2011 school year. [1]
On December 9, 2008 the Board of Education approved an $11.1 million contract with the Argo Building Company for a new Wylam K-8 School building.
