The Caldwell School is a former African American school building in Mobile, Alabama, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. Founded in 1887 as the Broad Street Academy, it was the city's first public high school for African Americans, with William A. Caldwell as its first principal. The original building was replaced in 1947 by the current structure, which served as an elementary school named for Caldwell until the 1960s. Bishop State Community College later acquired it, and it remains the oldest building on the college's Broad Street campus.
