About Site of Mound Hill School
Local families organized the Mound School District near Brenham in 1889, meeting at a Baptist church before enrolling forty students by 1891. The school relocated twice, to the Live Oak Female Seminary in 1902 and a remodeled two-room building in 1930, later adding a Depression-era hot lunch program. It was consolidated into the Prairie Hill School District in 1953.

In 1889 residents of the Mound area formed their first school at a nearby Baptist church. By 1891 the Mound School District was organized and forty students were enrolled. The school moved in 1902 to the Live Oak Female Seminary located on the farm of Dr. R. L. Miller. The school moved again in 1930 to a more central location and was remodeled into a two-classroom building. In 1939 the Works Progress Administration started a hot lunch program costing five centers per meal. By 1949 the school had been consolidated twice more and purchased its first bus. Finally, 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.
