- South School was originally built in 1937, serving grades kindergarten to 12. It served students from the east side of the Baraboo River in Reedsburg. The school has hosted many events in the community over the years, such as high school prom and youth basketball games. The School District of Reedsburg made the decision to close the school after the 2017 Referendum, and built a new elementary school on the east side of town. The school officially closed on June 11, 2019. Commemorative t-shirts were given out to all students and staff, and they were also purchasable from the South School PTO.[2] During the 2nd Annual Reedsburg Community Tree Lighting, the City of Reedsburg sold commemorative ornaments celebrating South School's 82 year long service.
