Mount Sinai School, Educational building in Alabama, United States.

Mount Sinai School is a one-story wooden Rosenwald school northwest of Prattville in rural Autauga County, Alabama. Built in 1919 to designs by architect William Augustus Hazel, it has a frame structure rather than brick, and it is the only remaining Rosenwald building in the county.

Founded around 1891 for African American students, the school first held classes in Mount Sinai Baptist Church and then in a one-room building between the church and the Booth train station, which was blown down in a storm. The current one-story frame building was erected in 1919 on land donated by Anthony Townsend, following plans by architect William Augustus Hazel published by the Tuskegee Institute. The Julius Rosenwald Fund gave $500, Alabama $300 and local African Americans $525. It closed in 1967 and was listed on the National Register on November 29, 2001.

The school takes its name from the Mount Sinai Baptist Church, where African American pupils first held classes around 1891 before any dedicated building existed. The Mount Sinai Community Center, which bought the building in 1967, erected a historical marker on the site in 2019.

The school stands in rural Autauga County northwest of Prattville, reached by local roads; the building is now owned by the Mount Sinai Community Center, not an operating school. A historical marker was erected on the site in 2019. Arrange any interior visit with the community center in advance.

Mount Sinai School is the only Rosenwald building still standing in Autauga County. It was renovated in 2024, and a historical marker was erected on the site in 2019 by the Mount Sinai Community Center. The building was bought in 1967 by that community center, which has since incorporated.
