The La Mott Community Center, located in the historic La Mott neighborhood, has served the La Mott and Cheltenham community since 1941. This much anticipated renovation of the former La Mott Grammar School, built in 1879, has gone through extensive public vetting and review and is being supported by federal, state and county grants. The Cheltenham Township community is looking forward to seeing the heart of the La Mott neighborhood reopen its doors in 2027 to serve the needs of current and future residents, while meeting modern operational efficiency, safety, accessibility and space standards.
