OLD BUSH SCHOOL OUR FIRST HOME The year 1960 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Ensley High School's admission into the Birmingham School System. It was established in 1901 as a three year high school on the top floor of old Bush School, with Mr. A A. Lyons as principal and a faculty of three teachers. The first class consisting of two girls graduated in 1909. In 1910 when it became a part of the Birmingham School System, Mr. R. E. Tidwell was principal, and there was an enrollment of 164 pupils. A new building costing $150,000 for 600 capacity was completed at the present site in 1912. Mr. R L. Dimmitt served as principal from 1912 until 1916 when he was succeeded by Dr. L. Frazer Banks, who served a year before going into Military Service. During Mr. E. E. Smith's principalship, from 1917 until 1931, the building was remodeled to accommodate 2,050 students. Dr. E. E. Sechrist was appointed principal in September, 1931. During his administration new art, athletic, and band rooms were added to the building The lunch room was remodeled. New tables, floors, tile walls, counters, electric ovens, and two drinking fountains made considerable improvement in convenience and appearance. Ensley's present principal, Mr. Claude E McLain, succeeded Dr. Sechrist in September, 1958. In the fall of 1959 a new library was added to the rear of the old building. The old library was converted into two class rooms and another class room, adjoining the lunch room, was equipped for a teacher's dining room. In the year 1960 Ensley High, which started in the Birmingham system with 164 pupils, has an enrollment of 1,658 students and a faculty of 80 teachers.
