I stopped at the Carnegie Learning Center to visit the former library as I am interested in…read morehistorical architecture. The building is a classic Carnegie funded Arts and Crafts style brick structure, typical of some Carnegie libraries. (Andrew Carnegie funded 164 public libraries in Indiana over 100 years ago.) The building served as the town library from 1912 through 1991 and includes an addition which expanded space and incorporated an elevator to improve accessibility. The exterior is mostly original, while the interior has been remodeled with no evidence of the historic contents with the exception of interesting photos of Andrew Carnegie and the building when it first opened. A historical plaque outside tells the history of the library. Margaret Wade was the first librarian. The building now serves as the Learning Center as part of the South Madison Community School system. Doug, one of the instructors, gave us an interesting tour of the building and described the Center's mission. The Center currently supports the education of around 20 students. There is parking in a nearby school lot. The building is not open to the public during school hours, but the plaques outside tells the story of this historic building that continues to serve the community. A new larger modern library stands a couple blocks away.

I have had two children in this school district and I am very happy with the opportunities that…read morethey have in this district. Especially grateful for the support at the high school for seniors as they look towards the next steps after graduation.

I can't speak to the school. But, after going to a Friday night football game I can attest to the…read morefact that the HSE fans (mostly parents) are the worst sport's I have ever seen. Any reasonable call on the other team was full of cheers and reasonable call on their team was met with crazy outrage. They yell out at the refs constantly. When one kid on the opposing team needed to adjust his pads they are screaming, "why don't we get him a drink". When the refs needed to discuss the yardage they were yelling, "do you need a calculator". I just wanted to scream, "hey, you idiots, 1. they can't hear you on the field and 2. you sound so ignorant and are setting a horrible example for all the kids around. Truly the most entitled and worst high school football fans I have encountered!

I don't enjoy school, but out of the three districts that I've transferred to over the years, this…read moreis probably the best one. Not that it's perfect. The food can be pretty low quality.

My husband and I attended a production of "Legally Blonde" The Musical at Mt. Vernon high school…read more The play was well produced, and the actors and singers were great. It was hard for us to believe that we were watching a High School play. Some of the talent compared to those that play at Footlite. Some characters made us laugh out loud. Especially the UPS driver. Too funny. The high school on a whole was in great shape. Clean, good signage, parents and family members, students, were polite and welcoming. I had never been in this school, but the facility seemed to have it all. Game fields, tennis courts, marching band practice, theatre auditorium was comfortable and able to hear. We praise the staff involved in this presentation; you made your school proud.

I have never actually been here although I know of the school and don't live too far away. I was…read morehere last night with my family to watch my niece's dance recital and I was impressed with the facility. The parking lot is large with lots of spots to park but not too hard to navigate. When you walk in the front entrance, after walking up a long cement walkway, there is a large lobby area that has a few tables and some chairs, and a long hallway off to the left. It is all very clean and seems well kept. The auditorium was down the long hallway and was very large, with padded theater-type seats. The stage was nice-sized and seemed like a great place to perform. If you happen to need wheelchair accessibility there are several accessible spots on the left end of one row in the auditorium with seats removed for wheelchairs. For those of us with mobility challenges who are also able to walk (I use crutches) there are hand rails to hold onto up the gentle slope. I do think they might consider making a few more rows handicap/wheelchair accessible so people who need this can have more options for seating but good for them for even trying. The performance was really nice and each age group did a very nice job. Overall this was a great time and I really enjoyed it. If you plan to go to an outside performance located here you are in for a good experience.
