    Since the year 1917, Buhl Elementary School has been a major component of this close knit community.  In the community's early years, the school served, along with the Baptist church, the post office, and the local sawmills, as the central hub of activity and development.  The local dirt roads, nearby train tracks, and Sipsey River were an appendage to this cluster of businesses.  The local boys of the Buhl community provided heat by shoveling coal to the stoves throughout the school day.  Today, almost 100 years later, updates have been made and structures have been renovated or demolished but Buhl Elementary School still serves as a primary focus to this small community in the western region of Tuscaloosa County.
