Every year new schools seem to be popping up in Grande Prairie to accommodate the needs of a growing city. In 1916, the plans for a new school for Grande Prairie were accepted by the Alberta Department of Education. At the time of its construction in 1917, the Montrose School was the largest brick building north of Edmonton and in every way a “credit to the north.”
A plaque was recently unveiled at the Montrose site, commemorating its historical value. For more about this event, visit Commemorating the Montrose Site
