Pleasant Hill School and Literary Society

Pleasant Hill School was once located across the road )what was then Owens-Kemp 
Rd. which today is Bethel Rd.) from Pleasant Hill Church.  There is not a 
definite date, however the deed of Pleasant Hill Church of 874 , the shcool 
house predated the church.  The school building had two floors, the 1st floor 
served as the school and the second floor was used for the "Farmer's Union, and 
the Sheffield Lodge of the Odd Fellows.  The school was moved about 1910/1915 
to the area between Smith James Rd. and Norris Lake Drive. on Pleasant Hill 
Rd., what was then the Lithonia Loganville Rd.. Pleasant Hill School was not in 
control of the church, many of the members attended the school as a child.  The 
old school building and property was later deeded to Pleasant Hill Church and 
the land was plotted out into Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, 1952.  The 
first school building eventually burned. The school at one time had an 
enrollment of seventy-three with an averatge attendance of forty.  It is 
thought the school was closed when the county schools were consolidated.
