Site of Mound Hill School

Residents of the Mound Area formed their first school in 1889 at a nearby Baptist church. By 1891 the Mound School District was organized and forty students were enrolled. In 1902 the school moved to the Live Oak Female Seminary on the farm of Dr. R.L. Miller. It moved again in 1930 to a more central location and was remodeled into a two-classroom building. In 1939 the Works Progress Administration began a hot lunch program costing five cents per meal. By 1949 the school had been consolidated twice more and had purchased its first bus. In 1953 the Mound Hill School was consolidated with the Prairie Hill School District, and the school buildings formerly at this site were moved to the Prairie Hill community.
