A cornerstone laying ceremony was held for Shaughnessy Park School in August 1950 but construction was not completed until 1951. In the meantime, classes were held at Florence Nightingale School. In 1962-1963, the facility was given a $196,000 expansion that included 16 classrooms, a general purpose room, and administrative and staff space.
