Description: Southern Local School District has undergone significant changes since 1990 building assessment. In 1990 the District operated five schools. Number Sixteen Elementary School was a 8,998 s.f. 1938 building which they used for grades K-4. Franklin Elementary School was a 7,500 s.f. 1923/1938/1950 building which they used for grades K-4. Highlandtown Elementary School was a 7,980 s.f. 1940 building which they used for grades 1-4. Southern Middle School was a 31,917 s.f. 1938 building which they used for grades 5-8. Southern Local High School was a 49,952 s.f. 1962 building which they used for grades 9-12.
In 1991, the District closed/sold Number Sixteen Elementary School and Franklin Elementary School. Highlandtown Elementary School had temporary modular classrooms placed on site, was renamed Southern Primary School and used for grades K-2. Southern Middle School was renamed Southern Intermediate School and used for grades 3-6. Southern Local High School had temporary modular classrooms placed on-site and is now used for grades 7-12.
In January of 2002 the Board of Education and Administrators braved the cold for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new K-12 complex. Construction for this new campus began in March of 2002.
December of 2002 saw students and staff of the Jr/Sr High packing and moving into the elementary wing so that construction renovation could be completed on the high school wing.
November of 2003 the Jr/Sr High students and staff began occupation of the current K-12 complex. By January of 2004 all students and staff claimed ownership of the new Southern Local K-12 complex.
