History
It was constructed in 1910. In the 1970s the old building was expanded with a new section of approximately the same size.
In 2015 the emerald ash beetle destroyed more than half of the trees in both the yards.
Later in the year the school started a campaign called Every Leaf Counts to raise 200,000 dollars to raise money for a new yard.
In 2016 grades 4, 5, and 6 took part in genius hour.
