South End Elementary Schoolis located on the south side of Reidsville. It is one of the 16 elementary schools in the Rockingham County School System. South End was constructed in 1935. The original structure was built on a four acre lot and consisted of eight elementary classrooms for grades one through seven, an auditorium that also served as a gymnasium, a custodial supply room, a principal's office, two bathrooms, and a 10` by 12` kitchen. At that time children ate in their classrooms.

In 1949 six classrooms, a library, two bathrooms, and a supply room were added to the original structure. The primary building was completed in 1956. This added another six classrooms for first and second year children. A large modern cafeteria was also added at that time.

South End School has pride in its past and present and all of the people who help to make it a warm and inviting environment for children.
