This school at Altona was constructed between 1955 and 1956 to accommodate the town's burgeoning high school enrollment. Known as the Altona Collegiate, the building contained eight classrooms, a commercial room, home economics room, manual training shop, physics and chemistry lab, library, office, and gymnasium. In 1966, it was replaced by W. C. Miller Collegiate and the building was converted for use by elementary grades.
