Southmont Elementary: Prior to the current school, which was opened in 2009, this parcel of land was home to the previous Southmont school, which was closed when Linwood and Southmont were consolidated into Southwood Elementary in 1979. The original Southmont School opened in the early 1930s. It was a brick facility containing ten classrooms, an auditorium, a library and an office. It had the very latest in steam heat and electricity. After the original school was lost to consolidation, Southmont School rose again. Overcrowding at Southwood school resulted in the need for this new school. When it came time to name this school, as is customary in our county, the Board of Education chose to hear input from the community. The overwhelming choice of the community was Southmont.
