Principals | Vice-Principals | Teachers | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

Designed by local architect John Nelson Semmens and built by the Sutherland Construction Company at a cost of $118,000, Champlain School, a two-storey structure made of red bricks, opened on 11 November 1920, the second anniversary of Armistice Day for the First World War. Although it had 12 classrooms for grades 1 to 6, only five of them were needed to handle overflow from the overcrowded Luxton School and Ralph Brown School nearby. By 1922, enrollment had increased to 508 students, under the guidance of 12 teachers. Demolition of the school took place in the summer of 1991.

The present school building was designed by MCM Architects and built between 1990 and 1991 by the Kelsey Construction Company.
