Bazoline Estelle Usher (December 26, 1885 – February 8, 1992) was an American educator known for her work in the Atlanta Public Schools.

As director of education for African-American children in the district prior to integration, she was the first African American to have an office at Atlanta City Hall.

When the family moved to Oxford, Georgia, in 1892, she continued at a two-teacher, two-room schoolhouse also at a Baptist church.

[1] In 1894 her family moved again,[1] this time to Covington, Georgia, in part so the children could attend better schools.

[4] Here Usher attended the school run by Dinah Watts Pace as part of her orphanage.

She received good grades and a recommendation to the high school preparatory courses at Atlanta University.

[3] At the age of 13 Usher tutored other students in math, including one who lived in the Alonzo Herndon household.

[6] When Du Bois was preparing a photography project for The Exhibit of American Negroes at the Paris Exposition of 1900, Usher was one of many Atlanta University students that he photographed.

[4] Instead she taught math and science at American Missionary Association High School in Virginia from 1906 to 1911.

During her early career it was expected that women teachers remain single while employed; as a result, Usher never married.

[7] In 1953 she was given a "scroll of honor" from the Georgia Teachers and Education Association and Fort Valley State College.
