School History
In June, 1953, Bob Mosley, a member of the Williamson County Board of
Education made a motion to ask for sufficient funds "to build a modern
elementary school with six classrooms somewhere between Green's Chapel
and Lampley's Store on the Pinewood Road. The motion was seconded and
carried. On July 20, 1953, the Board authorized the purchase of the land
and proceeded with the construction of the new school on Pinewood Road.
At this time in rural west Williamson County, one and two room school
buildings were a common sight. The construction of this building with
six classrooms was considered a "modern building". Pinewood Heights
Elementary is a school that values the family atmosphere that presides
here. As soon as you enter the 50+ year old building, walk on the hard
wood floors, and look up at the hard wood ceilings you will notice that
Pinewood represents a school dedicated to its community and educating
its youth. All the teachers and staff know each child by name. Pinewood
has a very dedicated staff that loves each child and thinks of them as
their own. Learning occurs readily at Pinewood because the whole
community is involved.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
In order to meet with parents on a more regular basis, the teachers
at Pinewood have decided to have flexible days for conferencing, after
school hours along with using the designated day(s) in the county /
school calendar. This has been designed to better meet the communication
needs at Pinewood. Teachers can spend more time conferencing with
parents and meeting individual needs.
Parent Support Organization
Our Boosters Club officers and members work hard at Pinewood
volunteering, some serve as substitute teachers, most work at fund
raising, etc. They host the following fundraisers and all funds raised
are spent to further the education of all the students: Dragon Run,
Dragon Fest and T-Shirt sales.

Site Based Management
Pinewood is a site-based school in which all educators participate in
the decision making process. Building level decisions are made in the
best interest of the student population but within the parameters of
best practices as prescribed at the county level.
